We wish to welcome a teacher-scholar who possesses strong pedagogical abilities, with particular sensitivity to inclusive, equity-minded teaching practices and who has demonstrated experience or interest in mentoring undergraduates from a variety of backgrounds and identities, including those historically marginalized in the academy (e.g., first-generation students, students from low-income families, students of color, LGBTQ+ students, students with disabilities).

The College of Arts and Sciences is committed to inclusive excellence, to increasing the diversity of the campus community, and to supporting traditionally underrepresented students in higher education, especially at a predominantly white institution. In alignment with Gonzaga University's mission, we expect applicants to provide evidence of direct experience and expertise in issues related to social justice, diversity, global engagement, and care for/solidarity with vulnerable and marginalized communities. Candidates who have demonstrated experience working with a diverse range of faculty, staff, and students, and who can contribute to the departmental ethos and campus climate of inclusivity are encouraged to identify specific experiences in these areas. Candidates who have demonstrated expertise in issues applicable to diverse populations and direct experience working with underrepresented and minoritized students through teaching, research, mentoring, or administration are preferred.
