The successful candidate will specialize in the study of American Indian/Native American populations using feminist critical intersectional approaches. Preference will be given to candidates with a specialty in one or more of the following: California Indians, the environment, reproductive justice and/or health disparities, gender-based violence, or educational access and discrimination.

This position will feature a second course release, for the first three years, for the purpose of building American Indian Studies, both in terms of curriculum development and community relations activities with on-campus constituencies and intertribal communities.

Overview: The American Indian Studies (AIS) Minor is designed to foster culturally appropriate knowledge and skills for those who may work for federal and/or state agencies having American and California Indian Constituents, and/or tribes, tribal health centers, tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, or national Indian organizations. AIS is in a period of transition and growth. However, interaction and outreach with local American Indian populations has always been an important part of this area of scholarship at Fresno State.

The primary mission of Women's Studies is to analyze how gender is constructed through a variety of social institutions and cultural processes so that gender inequality can be dismantled. Students acquire both a local and global perspective on gender. The program is interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in its approach and thereby draws on a range of feminist theories, methodologies, and practices. Attentiveness to diversity, privilege and power, and women's unique creative contributions to human experience are central aspects of this training. More than simply a body of knowledge, Women's Studies encourages students to apply their learning to transform their lives and their communities. Women's Studies at Fresno State is activist in focus, providing dynamic educational events focused on feminist issues. The program has a successful record of helping students gain skills to continue in social justice work both in post-baccalaureate careers and through the pursuit of advanced degrees. In the California State University system, teaching is considered a priority. Both programs are highly consultative and collaborative in nature.

Required Education: An earned doctorate (Ph.D.) in American Indian/Native American Studies, Women's Studies, Ethnic Studies, American Studies, or other closely related field is required for appointment to a tenure-track position.

Required Experience: The successful candidate will specialize in the study of American Indian/Native American populations using feminist critical intersectional approaches.
