forty-five miles south of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St.
Paul, whose greater metro area has a diverse population of three
million people and a rich variety of cultural resources. We are a
community of scholars committed to the goal of excellence in
undergraduate education, in research, and in building a more
socially just, diverse, and inclusive society in all of our

commitments.
To apply for this position, candidates should submit a
letter of application, a curriculum vitae, a course syllabus and an
annotated listing of courses you are prepared to teach, graduate

candidates' specific classroom strategies for promoting equity,
critically examining histories of oppression, and fostering a
respectful classroom environment. Letters of recommendation will be
requested for selected candidates following the initial review of
materials. These materials should be submitted at careers.carleton.edu.
To ensure full consideration, please submit all application
materials by August 15, 2021.
