This faculty position is housed within the Department of Curriculum & Instruction in the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin System. The University of Wisconsin-Madison occupies ancestral Ho-Chunk land, a place their nation has called Teejop (day-JOPE) since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede this territory. Decades of ethnic cleansing followed when both the federal and state government repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, sought to forcibly remove the Ho-Chunk from Wisconsin. UW-Madison acknowledges the circumstances that led to the forced removal of the Ho-Chunk people and honor their legacy of resistance and resilience. In the Department of Curriculum & Instruction, we aim to deeply consider our shared past and present alongside all 12 Native Nations of WI. As a part of UW-Madison, we are a diverse community of scholars, researchers, and educators with a commitment to the Wisconsin Idea, supporting an inclusive and diverse community, and striving for innovation and excellence together. The Department of Curriculum & Instruction envisions this position as one of many collaborative acts to create a better future together.
