a specialist working at the intersections of digital writing and
African American/BIPOC rhetorics and pedagogies for a tenure-track

successful teaching, and a profile situated at the intersection of
digital writing and African American/BIPOC rhetorics and
pedagogies. Preferred qualifications include scholarly engagement
in one or more of the desired secondary interests as well as
