We particularly encourage applications from Mi’kmaw scholars grounded in a Mi’kmaw worldview and community, African Nova Scotian scholars doing Afri-centric, anti-racist work grounded in community, and racialized scholars doing critical, transnational, community-engaged work. The successful candidate will clearly demonstrate strong skills and/or experience with anti-racist / anti-colonial / decolonizing research and work with communities as outlined above, and an ability to teach the Department’s 2nd year Community Organizing and 4th year Transnational Community Organizing courses (SJCS 2100 & 4739), and add to SJCS courses in pressing areas of community (and student) concern. The Department of SJCS is committed to equity and diversity as essential to academic excellence and this is a targeted search for candidates as outlined above, with relevant demonstrated lived experience and expertise.
