We invite applications from scholars who use intersectional and/or transnational feminist frameworks to study feminist economic justice, with areas of expertise that may include: inequality and the concentration of wealth, social reproduction, precarity (housing insecurity, food insecurity, healthcare access, contingent labor, poverty), neoliberalism, neocolonization, development, globalization, migrant labor, biocapitalism, labor movements, or poor people's organizing. We seek applicants who foreground one or more of the following theoretical frameworks: global south feminisms, Indigenous feminisms, Black feminisms, transfronteriza feminisms, Asian American feminisms, Marxist or socialist feminisms, and/or queer and trans feminisms. We are especially interested in scholars using the following methodologies, including but not limited to: field work in the global south, qualitative social science research methods, and/or community action research.

The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in a related field. A minimum of a graduate minor or concentration in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, or a significant track record of research and teaching in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, is required. We also require the following:
  • A strong record or promise of scholarly accomplishments appropriate to level of appointment
  • The ability to support and develop the Women's Studies curriculum in economic justice and feminism, including concerns related to gender, race, class, sexuality, colonialism, and nation

  • A commitment to strengthening an already successful M.A. program in Women's Studies
  • A commitment to collaborating with interdisciplinary College and University programs such as the Sustainability program and the Center for Human Rights

We are seeking applicants with demonstrated experience in and/or commitment to teaching and working effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds and members of underrepresented groups.
