INTRODUCTION

The Department of History at the University of Connecticut welcomes applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor with expertise in Digital Public History working with racialized communities in the United States. The position will be a joint appointment with the Africana Studies Institute, Asian &amp; Asian American Studies Institute, Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies, or El Instituto: Latina/o, Caribbean and Latin American Studies. We are especially interested in scholars whose work promotes voices, experiences, and opinions silenced and marginalized by media and mainstream accounts of U.S. history. The successful candidate will regularly teach undergraduate courses in public history and digital methods, along with advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in their area of interest.

The position is part of an anti-racism and anti-bias cluster of seven new faculty in the Departments of Communication, Journalism, History, Philosophy, Political Science, English, and Literature Cultures and Languages. The cluster hiring initiative of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences seeks faculty to join our vibrant collective of Centers, Departments, Institutes, and programs in engaged anti-racism and anti-bias scholarship. We envision such scholarship as rooted in intersectional struggles against dehumanization, denigration, and dispossession and for decolonization and liberation. Anti-racist and anti-bias scholarship thus involves the active work of dismantling systems of oppression, including larger systems of thought, through generating reparative alternatives, modes of justice and healing, and visions of transformative futures. We hope insights borne of such struggles will inform the development of a dynamic role for UConn in shaping a contemporary global society conducive to human dignity and planetary well-being. 

We welcome scholars with expertise in different forms of digital public history.  We anticipate the successful candidate will participate in our new public engagement initiative, EPOCH (Engaged, Public, Oral, and Community History) https://history.uconn.edu/epoch/. The successful candidate is also invited to collaborate and affiliate with Greenhouse Studios (https://greenhousestudios.uconn.edu/) and the Department of Digital Media and Design (https://dmd.uconn.edu/), which have particular strengths in areas such as developing media and technology for use in museum exhibitions, digitally mediated community outreach, creating and maintaining digital archives, building online educational resources, podcasting and video production, and game development.

The Department of History has 40 tenure stream faculty members, approximately 40 graduate students, and 300 undergraduate majors. UConn is ranked as the top public university in New England, and among the top 25 public universities nationwide. For more information see https://history.uconn.edu.
