Potential foci and areas of specialization include, but are not limited to social movements; relations and solidarities linking the US, Asia, and the Pacific; anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism; anti-militarism and demilitarization; climate/environmental justice; native sovereignty; gender and sexuality; religion; caste; migration; labor. The department embraces intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches to research and teaching. As faculty in the Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies (AAADS) program and a member of the AAPITF cluster, the successful applicant will actively participate in AAADS and the AAPITF cluster efforts. The candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses, including Introduction to Asian American and Pacific Islander Histories and courses on historical methods.
