Education. The ideal candidate will possess (a) interdisciplinary

methodologies, and (d) a research agenda directly focused on K-12
ethnic studies education/civics education. We are particularly
interested in hiring a colleague whose scholarship engages race as
a power structure, racialization, histories of
oppression/resistance in educational contexts, critiques of racial
capitalism, and/or youth participation in social and political
movements, past or present. Possible areas of specialization with
an educational focus include the following: Indigenous, Black,
Chicanx/Latinx, Asian American/Pacific Islander studies,
settler-colonial studies, decolonial studies, anti-colonial,
anti-imperial, and feminist struggles, youth and student movements,
environmental/sustainability politics, or history/social studies
education. The candidate will also contribute to research and
advocacy in schools, community organizations, and/or
campus-community partnerships that explore what counts as civic and
political participation.
We seek scholars with an established research program and a record
of externally funded research grants, projects, research-practice
partnerships, or other forms of engaged scholarship with schools or
community organizations. The successful candidate will be able to
teach across the department's programs (Undergraduate Major/Minor,
Master's/Teaching Credential, and Ph.D.), advise and mentor
graduate and undergraduate students, collaborate with teacher
educators, contribute significant department service, and work with
students, faculty, and staff from a wide range of social and
cultural backgrounds. We welcome candidates who bring a critical
understanding of diversity from their own life experiences and
background, who understand the barriers facing traditionally
underrepresented groups in education, and who have engaged in
teaching, research, professional and/or public service that promote
diversity, equity, and inclusion.
