Description:
“This search is part of a cluster hire in Native American and Indigenous Studies.” “The Department will consider applicants working in any period or area of inquiry within this field,
including but not limited to Meso-American, Andean, and Amazonian Indigenous formations. We are interested in scholarship engaging with any genre of cultural, artistic, and linguistic
practices of the region’s pueblos originarios/povos originários including but not limited to ones in conversation with: gender/sexuality; struggles for land and ancestral rights; sovereignty,
autonomy and survivance including plurinational constitutionalism and Indigenous legal
scholarship; politics, education and alternative epistemologies and ontologies; food sovereignty;
modes of companionship with the Earth and with other coexistents as well as practices of
resistance against extractivism, de-Indigenization and ethnocide. Comparative work in a global
frame, scholarship engaging Indigeneity as a political/historical formation, intersections between
Blackness and Indigeneity, or theoretical approaches to Indigeneity are also welcome.
Proficiency in one or several Indigenous languages, as well as work on questions of language
rights and multilingualism is highly encouraged.”
