Brown University’s Department of American Studies seeks applications for a tenure-track position in Latina/o Studies. Applicants should have a strong foundation in Latina/o Studies, which can come from a range of disciplinary homes, as well as experience with interdisciplinary scholarship.
We seek candidates whose primary focus is Latina/o Studies from a cultural, historical, and/or socio-political perspective.
