Department Summary

The research and teaching of the University of Oregon Department of
Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies examines the way that race, as
a system of domination, is intimately tied to issues of gender,
class, sexuality, migration, indigeneity, and settler colonialism.
With our students, we interrogate historical and contemporary
manifestations of White supremacy and explain how systems of
domination and acts of resistance create and recreate racial
subjects.

While Ethnic Studies traditionally centers the social construction
of race in the United States, it also pays significant attention to
transnational migrations and diasporas resulting from the slave
trade, indentured labor, colonialism, imperialism, and
globalization.

Position Summary

The Department of Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies at the
University of Oregon seeks to hire an instructor(s) or lecturer(s)
to teach in the 2021-22 academic year, with a particular focus on
the winter and spring terms. Depending on area of expertise,
courses could be a mix of introductory courses and more specialized

renewable for up to a total of three years. Positions are open
