Two Faculty Positions: Critical Studies in Education

 

The Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies in the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education at the University of Oklahoma invites applications for two full-time tenure/tenure-track positions (Assistant or Associate Professor) in the area of Critical Studies in Education. We seek candidates who study education, formal and/or informal, through inter/trans-disciplinary critical sociological, philosophical, historical, political, and/or cultural perspectives. We are particularly interested in hiring colleagues whose scholarship engages the transformational capacities of education for the least-advantaged youth and communities, and help our department grow our focus and reach in preparing future educational leaders to transform educational systems and larger social orders.

 

Required Qualifications: The successful candidates will possess an earned doctorate in Educational Foundations, Educational Leadership, Educational Policy, Higher Education, or other applicable disciplines and fields. They should have a commitment to teaching, research, and public service activities appropriate to an assistant, advanced assistant, or associate professor at a research-intensive institution; a willingness and ability to work with graduate students, faculty colleagues, and local school communities; able to teach across departmental programs (Educational Studies, Adult & Higher Education, and Education Administration & Curriculum Supervision); advise and mentor graduate students; as well as a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.  

 

Preferred Qualifications: We seek candidates who bring a critical understanding of structural oppression in educational and social institutions and who engage in teaching, research, professional and/or public service that promotes diversity, equity, and justice. We are particularly interested in scholars whose intellectual traditions are grounded in the following areas:

  1. Queer, Trans, and/or Sexualities Studies in Education as intersecting with anti-racism/oppression in education, critical race theory, ethnic studies, queer studies, diaspora/migration/immigration studies, disability studies, or decolonial studies in education.
  2. Critical Policy Studies in Education as intersecting with anti-racism, anti-oppression, equity, and justice in education.

 

The Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies (ELPS) consists of three programs: Educational Studies (EDS), Adult and Higher Education (EDAH), and Educational Administration, Curriculum and Supervision (EACS). Each of the three programs offers the M.Ed. and Ph.D. degrees. In addition, the Ed.D. is offered by the EACS program. From training future school administrators, student life leaders, or educational theorists, ELPS offers graduate students in the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education an option for academically rigorous interdisciplinary learning, pragmatically designed to suit their own individual gifts, backgrounds, and goals as educators.
