Job Summary Overview:
The Center for Social Equity and Inclusion at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) invites applications for a two-year full-time Fellowship starting in fall 2023.
RISD recognizes principles of social equity, diversity, and inclusion as fundamental to its academic mission as an art and design school. We understand these principles to require ongoing attention to differential embodied experience and expansion of the forms of knowledge from which our curricula originate. RISD is engaged in the collective work of institutional transformation and would value applicants whose pedagogical and professional experiences have prepared them to foster equitable teaching and learning environments. We seek applicants whose teaching and professional work (creative practice and/or academic scholarship) attends to embodied difference as intersectional and centers on bodies of knowledge from historically underrepresented communities. We encourage applicants from traditionally underrepresented communities including Native American peoples, Black and Indigenous peoples of color, Latinx, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, veterans, and persons with disabilities.
We are seeking a creative practitioner, scholar, and/or researcher with training in architecture and/or design, who is working on an ambitious creative/research project that engages non-western, indigenous, and/or historically marginalized cultures, histories and forms of knowledge; investigates, critiques, or addresses the ways in which power shapes notions of value and inequality, in particular understandings of race and its intersections with other issues; and/or fosters inclusion by exploring pedagogies and practices that meaningfully engage a diverse range of students/communities.
The ideal candidate will be able to teach undergraduate and/or graduate students in one or more of the departments in RISD's Division of Architecture + Design: Apparel Design, Architecture, Furniture Design, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interior Architecture, Landscape Architecture. The courses offered should appeal to an internationally diverse student population of artists and designers. Courses can be discipline-specific or engage interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary topics.
SEI Fellows offer events through RISD's Teaching and Learning Lab and are also expected to contribute to departmental, divisional, and college-wide initiatives aimed at advancing the work of social equity and inclusion.

- A terminal degree in the applicant's discipline conferred by July 31, 2023
