Qualifications
We seek a critical teacher-scholar whose work contributes to anti-colonial, anti-imperial practices by challenging older conceptions of national culture, region, canon, and/or tradition. The postdoctoral scholar should be well-versed in multimodal and transnational methods and technologies that reveal south-south connections and emerging global racial formations. We welcome research that imagines alternative ways of addressing global inequalities, including capitalist dispossession, environmental injustice, unequal access to health and education, and struggles for substantive citizenship and sovereignty. Applicants from all disciplines in the humanities and humanistic social sciences are encouraged to apply.
