Wheaton College (MA) - TT Assistant Professor, Sociology & Women's & Gender Studies

 * The Sociology Department and the Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Wheaton College (Norton, Massachusetts) invite applications for a tenure track colleague in a joint appointment beginning fall of 2016.
 * The successful candidate must have a PhD in Sociology with extensive graduate-level training in women’s and/or gender studies. The annual teaching load is 5 courses, with courses and service to the College shared equally between the two programs.
 * Candidates must be able to teach Introduction to Women’s Studies, and must indicate willingness and interest in developing courses in both Sociology and WGS around their area of expertise. Specialties within the fields are open, but we are particularly interested in candidates who bring intersectional, comparative and global perspectives into their teaching and research.
 * Link to Apply: https://jobs.wheatoncollege.edu/postings/1481
 * Applicants must upload a letter of application outlining the candidate’s teaching and research interests, current curriculum vitae and evidence of teaching effectiveness. Application deadline is October 16, 2015.
 * FYI, I contacted the faculty to ask if applicants with Ph.Ds in WGS are allowed, and they said it must be a Ph.D in Sociology.
 * OH COME ON!  Well, thank you for asking.  :)
 * Glad you got a response. I did not. Also, that's some BS.
 * This is a really upsetting representation of how people view our field.  What's the logic here?  Anyone can teach a Women's Studies class, but you can't teach in Sociology without a disciplinary PhD?  That.... doesn't even make sense. Ugh.
 * ^Preach!
 * I don't know this for sure, but my guess is that the department that will grant tenure down the road is sociology, so they want a sociologist. I also don't think it's accurate to assume that "anyone can teach women's studies." I think they're looking for someone trained in the particular tradition of sociology but has interdisciplinary experience. Yes, it's annoying if your degree is in gender studies. But every department has specific needs that they're addressing when hiring. Vent freely-- I'm not trying to shut that down, just trying to add another perspective to the mix. There are probably plenty of folks on the other side of the table for jobs that are prioritizing gender studies degrees. Sure, "require" and "prefer" are very different but still various degrees are seen as more valuable for various jobs. Not much we can do about it unfortunately.
