READ and PRINT this before adding any syllabi to this site!

Please print out these instructions before proceeding further. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@artsofthepresent.org.

These pages may be used to post syllabi and teaching materials for teaching the contemporary arts, either in interdisciplinary or disciplinary courses. These pages are not for calls for papers, discussion of teaching techniques, or general blogging. Advertisements of commercial products or services not directly related to the purpose of the list are forbidden. Any entry that includes comments on other entries, vandalism (including jokes and deliberately false announcements), advertisements for products, personal attacks, and other disruptive behavior will be deleted by the site operator, and the person sending such posts may be permanently barred from this site. The site operator reserves the right to remove, at any time, any entry posted by members that he/she deems inappropriate, including those concerning topics outside the scope of ASAP's mission.

Members may post calls by doing the following:

  1. Click on "Post new forum topic"
  2. Type in a Subject. Subject lines should have the following format: "Teaching [Title of course]"
  3. By default, "Forums" is set to "Teaching Intermedial and Interdisciplinary Arts Courses." If you want to submit a course under that heading, just leave the Forums tab as is. NOTE: If your submission is for a disciplinary course (a course in literary studies, art, media arts, performance, etc.), make sure that "Teaching Arts Disciplines Courses" is set in the "Forums" button.
  4. In the block titled "Body," cut-and-paste (in RTF format) or type in your syllabus.
    • Please limit the length of your syllabus to the equivalent of three typed pages.
    • Please do not insert coding. This site recognizes only the most basic HTML codes, and we ask that you do not spend time trying to make your syllabus fancy looking. Please just type in the necessary information without bling.
  5. Click "Submit" at the bottom of the page.

Please note: there are other options for you to click on this page: please do not do so. We have set all settings to ensure that your cfp appears where it should on this website.

Alternatively, A.S.A.P. members may post syllabi and teaching suggestions to the site operator by sending an email to info@artsofthepresent.org. Please send postings as "plain text" (aka. ASCII text) in the body of the message rather than as an attachment. Please turn off MIME-encoding and HTML-encoding in your email programs, and please do not send attachments. Entries may be in any language, but should be clearly stated, include dates and contact information, and be of reasonable length (400 words total). All calls should be for viable and timely projects. SUBJECT LINE OF EMAIL SHOULD READ "Teaching Materials for ASAP website".
