Seeking a department chair for The Division of Ethnic Studies which is the only degree and tenure-granting Ethnic Studies division in the intermountain west, giving us a newly gained national prominence across the country. The division is home to eighteen faculty. The division offers courses and scholarly expertise across the traditional Ethnic Studies ethnic and racial groups (American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, Black Studies, Latinx Studies, and Pacific Island Studies). We also hold strengths in research and teaching with regards to Feminist Studies and Diaspora & Migration Studies, and the Division has taken concerted efforts to expand into a global consideration of race and ethnicity. Many of our faculty hold joint or shared appointments across campus and we are thoroughly interdisciplinary in our approaches, with faculty in the humanities, social sciences, and education. Ethnic studies faculty are award-winning scholars and teachers.
