Scholars of all time periods and specializations in any humanities or social sciences discipline with a focus on the intersections of race and disability are encouraged to apply and will receive full consideration. We seek candidates with a record of (or potential for) successful scholarly publication, undergraduate teaching, academic service, and community engagement. We are a department that values diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we seek scholars with decolonial, feminist, anti-racist and justice-oriented teaching and research methodologies.
We are particularly interested in candidates with research and teaching interests centered on disability, broadly defined, that include (but are not limited to): Disability Justice, the politics of embodiment, race and medical ableism, race and bioethics, neurodiversity, Carework and capitalism, Mad Studies, Debility Studies, and Queer Crip of Color Theory/Critique. The ideal candidate will be able to teach foundational concepts in race and ethnic studies, including but not limited to colonialism and imperialism, racialization and identity formation, power and hegemony, resistance and social movements, and the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability, as well as developing new offerings around intersectional disability studies.
Responsibilities center on teaching undergraduate courses in the Department of Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies, including our minors in African American and Africana Studies and Latinx Studies. Additional duties include graduate teaching for the CRES graduate certificate. Candidates must carry out a robust scholarly research and publication agenda and contribute service at the department, college, and university levels.

Dean Watson is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Stacie McCormick as the Department Chair for Comparative Race & Ethnic Studies.
Dr. Stacie McCormick is an Associate Professor of English, serves as core faculty in CRES and WGST, and specializes in representations of the body (biopower, biocapitalism, disability, etc.), land, sexuality, and the ongoing resonance of slavery in contemporary Black writing and performance, all from Black feminist and intersectional lens. She is currently writing a book that examines Black storytelling and reproductive justice from the perspectives of those often marginalized out of the conversation. Her appointment begins June 1, 2023.
Dr. McCormick notes: "I am truly excited to lead CRES and to work with the dynamic students and community within the department. Ethnic Studies plays such an important role in the academy because it not only offers a socially transformative curriculum, but also serves as an important site of community building in the work of justice. I look forward to advancing these legacies within CRES."
