Description
The Program in Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies seeks a professor of Queer of Color Critique, field open, ideally with interdisciplinary scholarship.
Preference will be given to candidates at the level of associate or full professor, but candidates with PhDs in hand by August 2024 will be given full consideration.
Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) is an interdisciplinary program designed to encourage students to focus critically on gender and sexuality.
Many of our courses investigate how assumptions about gender and/or sexuality operate in society, shaping feminine, masculine, transgender, gay, lesbian, bisexual and queer identities, and how they influence social and political structures.
Integral to Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is the idea of intersectionality - that (amongst other axes of identification) race, ethnicity, class, ability, nationality, and religion are important factors in any critical understanding of gender and sexuality.
WGSS has existed in some form at Williams for over 30 years.Women's Studies was formalized into a program in 1983, and name changes over the years have reflected increasing attention in the interdisciplinary field to issues of gender and sexuality studies.
We have offered a major since 2002, and have graduated over 300 majors and concentrators since the program was established.
Qualifications
The candidate should be able to teach introductory courses, including WGSS 101 and a Foundations in Sexuality Studies seminar in addition to electives.
We are especially interested in candidates from historically underrepresented groups whose scholarship and teaching contribute to the breadth and excellence of our academic community.
In addition, Williams offers faculty participation in the colleges professional development program First3 and in the NCFDD Faculty Success Program, and support through the newly established Rice Center for Teaching.
