Los Medanos College’s Ethnic Studies and Social Justice Studies Department is looking for Ethnic Studies trained faculty members in all discipline specific areas who are excited to teach hybrid or fully face to face classes in the spring 2027 semester or future academic years at either our Brentwood Center or Pittsburg campus. If teaching hybrid, the applicant will need to take specific training offered by the district (Becoming an Effective Online Instructor, BEOI) or apply for equivalency training for online education.

The specific course offerings are still being set by the department, and applicants will be offered set class schedules (day/times) as determined by the department. You should apply if you have Ethnic Studies training and are excited about joining a fun and innovative department.

We are seeking people who recognize the critical role community colleges play in social justice, who have ability in this space, enthusiasm for this work, ideas and vision to improve our approaches, and a commitment to achieving equitable academic success for the 50,000+ students attending our five beautiful colleges and centers. Our social justice work calls for employees who have a sense of social responsibility, interest in our community and world in which we live.

The intention of social justice work is to strengthen humanity by understanding that every person deserves the benefits of fully participating in our society and institutions. Academic researchers have illustrated that crucial social justice principles are a compilation of equality, equity, diversity, inclusion, engagement, environmental sustainability and human rights. These complex principles are challenging to operationalize in higher education; yet, we are steadfast in our diligence to forge ahead to advance this vital mission.

Community colleges are uniquely positioned to lead higher education in the work of social justice. Many of our students come from historically underserved and underrepresented backgrounds; students of color, students with recent immigrant histories, students from cycles of low income if not poverty, students from indigenous communities, and students from first-generation families. The idea of promoting social mobility through education is unconditionally and uncompromisingly embraced by community colleges.

This is an exciting role, and it comes with a heavy responsibility. Simply put, we need to create environments where our students achieve greater academic success, so much so that we close our persistent equity/opportunity gaps. If you are committed to social and racial justice and if you are interested in joining a community dedicated to solving these inequities through education, please apply.
