Position Details
The Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Program at Wesleyan University seeks to hire a senior scholar-teacher at the associate or full professor level (field open) to chair the Program and to build upon the Program’s existing strengths in implementing a forward-looking vision.
Wesleyan began offering a major in women’s studies in 1992 through a program developed and staffed by faculty from across all divisions of the University. With 15-20 majors a year, the Program currently offers students in and outside the major an often transformative education in the best tradition of a liberal arts university, while also supporting the intellectual interests and research programs of an interdisciplinary faculty. The incoming chair will have opportunities to teach, research and collaborate with faculty and students in departments and programs across the University and with academic centers, such as the new Center for the Study of Public Life (physically adjacent to the Program), and the Center for the Humanities. Wesleyan has long been committed to innovative interdisciplinary work that seriously considers how education is critically engaged with the world.
