We are open to a range of proposed topics, not limited to courses that incorporate or focus on the following:
- Comparative approaches to the study of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity
- Critical adoption studies
- Critical migration or comparative border studies
- Critical prison studies
- Disability studies
- Environmental studies
- Histories of decolonizing, anticolonial, race-radical social movements
- Indigenous studies
- Labor studies
- Mixed-race studies
- Queer studies
- Settler colonial studies
- Transgender studies
- War and empire studies
We particularly welcome candidates whose courses are grounded in comparative, interdisciplinary, and/or transnational approaches. Additionally, we are especially interested in applicants with experience in indigenous studies or community organizing.

Internal candidates will be given priority consideration.
