Rules for the Admission of Honorary Associate Professors at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, the University of Gothenburg Reg. No V 2014/885 RULES FOR THE ADMISSION OF HONORARY ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS AT THE FACULTY OF FINE, APPLIED AND PERFORMING ARTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG Decision-maker: Faculty Board Administrative Officer: Camilla Ljung Date of decision: 10-12-2014 Period of validity: Until further notice Invalidates earlier decision V 2011/270 Summary: These regulations constitute the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts’ rules for the admission of Associate Professors Rules for the Admission of Honorary Associate Professors at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, as well as Application Instructions General The Swedish term docent is an abbreviation of the earlier title: magister docens, from the Latin word: doceo – to teach, instruct, educate. A Docent/Associate Professor is a learned scholar with a documented scholarly/artistic and pedagogical outlook and approach – as well as the ability to acquire scholarly knowledge autonomously, and convey this knowledge to others. In the Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 1993:100), there are no regulations regarding the admission of Honorary Associate Professors. It is therefore up to each higher education institution to decide on procedures for the admission of Associate Professors. The Faculty Board at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts regards an Associate Professorship as a very important and valuable part of the university organisation and has therefore decided that the opportunity should exist to admit teachers and researchers as Honorary Associate Professors. One can apply to be qualified as an Associate Professor in the subjects at the Faculty within which doctoral studies are conducted. In order to be considered for an Associate Professorship, applicants must have a connection with the Faculty, and the appointment should be of benefit to research or to scholarly/artistic teaching at the University. Admission as an Honorary Associate Professor does not mean being employed at the University but signifies having a natural link to the Faculty. An Associate Professor is expected to be prepared to take on assignments such as: external examiner, member of an examining committee, research supervisor, lecturer in undergraduate or doctoral programmes, or other scholarly activity or activities of benefit to research and education at the University. Associate Professorships at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts are lifelong. Translation of the Swedish term: docent (Associate Professor) There is no single clear-cut translation of the Swedish word docent; nevertheless, it is not common to use the English word docent, since this can be understood as meaning a curator at a museum, especially in the US. The translation Senior Lecturer is also used, but if Senior Lecturer is to be deemed as being the equivalent level of a docent depends on the status of the university and the internal specific requirements for the appointment. Britain uses the following titles for docent level: First Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Reader and Associate Professor. Associate Professor and Reader can also be used synonymously with Assistant Professor, i.e., the stage between an Associate Professor and a Professor. The closest equivalent to docent in the American higher education system is Associate Professor1. The Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts uses the American translation Associate Professor. Eligibility A person is qualified to be admitted as an Honorary Associate Professor at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts if he or she, within the subject/discipline of the honorary professorial position in question, fulfils established requirements, with regard to: 1) scholarly expertise and autonomous ability, 2) pedagogical expertise and autonomous ability, 1 Wikipedia (version 24 October 2014. 21.21) 3) artistic expertsie (in the case of applications in an artistic subject), 4) connection with a Department at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts 1.

Normally, research production that is in addition to a doctorate, is, in quantity, to be the equivalent of one more doctoral dissertation. Projects carried out before one’s dissertation may, in exceptional cases, be counted as part of one’s production in its entirety. The volume of one’s production is to be considered in respect of: research value, the number of authors, the author's role in the research accounted for, as well as the publishing tradition in the research field in question. An applicant’s autonomous ability must be explicitly described in the application. Autonomous ability to formulate and solve scholarly issues, together with a necessary overall view of the subject field in order to be able to lead research work – as well as the ability to collaborate with the wider community – are the qualifications required for an Associate Professor. Important qualifications comprise: an applicant’s own research funding (where the applicant is the authority responsible), as well as scholarly assignments. Supervision of projects, or final degree projects, at undergraduate level, as well as supervision related to licentiate theses, and supervision related to doctoral degrees, are considered additional, advantageous qualifications. Scholarly expertise can, for example, be: • autonomous ability in research, which can for example be documented through a consistent line of research that an applicant has pursued in addition to his or her doctoral work. • ability to identify relevant researchable problems • ability to formulate ideas and research projects in a stringent way, • ability to plan and conduct research, • ability to present one’s own research results/outcomes in a convincing way, • knowledge of research in one’s own field, its theories, methods, important research specialisations and results/outcomes, • ability to critically reflect on one’s own research, and on the research of others. Additional, advantageous qualifications related to research can, for example, be: • project funding received, or research positions, which have been applied for in competition with national or international applicants, • completion of one’s own post-doctoral research projects, • participation as a post-doctoral researcher in major research projects, • academic assignments as assessor/reviewer, evaluator, and external examiner at public defences.of doctoral dissertations, • presentations at international conferences, • publication, particularly international publication, of research results/outcomes, • the arranging of conferences, • editorship of relevant publications. Qualifications required to be an Associate Professor cannot be based on projects that have not as yet been accepted for publication or the equivalent. If a manuscript or a work has been accepted, a signed certificate verifying this is to be attached to the application. 2. Pedagogical expertise and autonomous ability Applicants are to have a well-developed ability to reflect autonomously on questions related to teaching and learning, and subject-based teaching and learning. Pedagogical expertise is required in order to be admitted as an Associate Professor, and this is to be acquired through: a) teaching within higher education, b) supervision at doctoral or master’s level, c) completion of University of Gothenburg courses in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (HPE 101, 102 och 103), or other qualifications that are assessed as being of equal value, in accordance with the following document (in translation): Assessment and Recognition of Qualifications in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (Handläggningsordning för prövning och erkännande av högskolepedagogiska meriter” (G 8 2638/09), as well as d) completion of the following University of Gothenburg course: Supervision in Postgraduate Programmes (HPE 201), or other programmes for postgraduate/doctoral supervisors. Qualifications are to be well-documented, and demonstrated, for example through:: • certification of pedagogical expertise from a Head of Department, or the equivalent, • certification of supervision, from postgraduate/doctoral students, • one’s own production of teaching material, • course leadership, • development of new courses, • a written reflection on one’s own teaching • course evaluations, • publication of one’s own teaching material, • supervision of final degree projects, licentiate theses, and doctoral dissertations that have been awarded pass marks, • certification of completed courses in: Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, and Supervision in Postgraduate Programmes. 3. Artistic expertise (in the case of an application in an artistic subject) An applicant’s artistic expertise is to be at a high professional level. Applicants are required to have their own artistic practice after having completed a doctorate. Artistic expertise is, for example, documented through: • one’s own artistic productions and works, • authorship in subjects relevant to the arts, • commercial recordings, • documented recordings of concerts and performances, • photo documentation of works, productions and exhibitions, • programmes from concerts, catalogues from exhibitions, etc. • critical reviews, • engagements and assignments at arts institutions, festivals,

  • Guidelines for Granting Docent Status
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY GUIDELINES 11 June 2015 JURFAK 2015/49 Appendix 1 UPPSALA UNIVERSITY DECISION Board of the Faculty of Law 17 October 2013 (revised on 11 June 2015) Guidelines for granting docent status 1. Purpose of appointing docents at the Faculty of Law The purpose of granting the title or position of ‘docent’1 at the Faculty of Law is to clearly recognise a person’s special academic expertise. Docent status may be conferred if it may be beneficial to the research and education. A docent is required to be active in education at postgraduate (research) level in various ways, such as providing proficient supervision and undertaking the role of ‘opponent’ in disputations (public defences of PhD theses). Obtaining docent status therefore presupposes academic qualifications over and above a doctoral degree. Docent status may normally be conferred only in a subject in which education at postgraduate level is provided at the Faculty. A person who has gained docent status at another higher education institution may not be granted docent status in the same subject at the Faculty of Law in Uppsala. 2. Consultation A person wishing to be granted docent status is recommended first to raise the matter informally with the Chair of the Research Committee. The Chair must then consult one or more subject representatives on the matter. Advice not to continue does not constitute any formal impediment to proceeding with the application. 3. Conferral requirements for applicants lacking positions at the Faculty of Law If applicants have no permanent or time-limited appointment at the Faculty of Law, subject representatives must issue special statements of opinion regarding the manner in which the grant of docent status could benefit research and education at the Faculty.

  • Translating Degrees and Academic Titles Abbreviations: Challenges and Perspectives
    Slađana Milinković TRANSLATING DEGREES AND ACADEMIC TITLES ABBREVIATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES SLAĐANA MILINKOVIĆ Th e Court Interpreters and Translators Association of Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi fokozatok és tudományos címek rövidítéseinek fordítása: kihívások és perspektí- vák. Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.
