Department

Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

The Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program in the School of Language, Culture, and Society invites applications for one or more fixed-term, non-tenure-track, full/part-time Instructor positions on a term-by-term basis for the  academic year. Some of these appointments may be reviewed for renewal or transition to an instructional position on an annual basis at the discretion of the Director.

Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies place women’s concerns, gender analysis, and/or LGBTQ experience at the center of academic study. We recognize that gender and sexuality intersect with other categories of identity and experience, including race, ethnicity, social class, ability, and age. Our courses examine a wide range of topics from multidisciplinary perspectives. We encourage community involvement and activism, and our majors, minors, and graduate students complete internships with social change agencies and organizations.

It is part of the School of Language, Culture, and Society, which also includes undergraduate and graduate programs in Anthropology; an undergraduate program and graduate minor in Ethnic Studies; minors in Indigenous Studies, Latinx Studies, Social Justice, Queer Studies; undergraduate majors and minors the World Languages & Cultures Program and a certificate in Food in Culture and Social Justice. Our School values interdisciplinary collaboration, community-centered research, and socially transformative learning.
