:

The Women and Gender Studies Institute (WGSI) in the Faculty of Arts and 
Science at the University of Toronto invites applications for a 
full-time teaching stream position in the area of Feminist Cultural 
Studies. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, 
Teaching Stream with an expected start date of July 1, 2020, or shortly 
thereafter.

Applicants must have earned a PhD degree in Women and Gender Studies, 
Cultural Studies or a cognate discipline by the time of appointment, or 
shortly thereafter. We seek candidates whose teaching interests 
compliment and strengthen our existing departmental strengths 
<http://www.wgsi.utoronto.ca/>. Candidates must have a minimum of two 
years experience teaching in a degree granting program at the 
undergraduate level, including lecture preparation and delivery, 
curriculum development, and facility in both large lecture and small 
seminar contexts. Additionally, candidates must possess a demonstrated 
commitment to excellent and innovative pedagogical practices and a 
demonstrated interest in teaching-related scholarly activities. The 
successful candidate will have a breadth of training and experience in 
feminist approaches to reading, writing, and analyzing cultural 
production. We are seeking candidates whose teaching grapples with 
intersectional areas of gender, race, class, sexuality, ability, 
coloniality, Indigeneity, and other important differences, as well as 
contributes to or is in conversation with WGSI’s strength in 
transnational, postcolonial, diasporic, decolonial, and indigenous 
feminist studies. Strong candidates will successfully incorporate their 
pedagogical research into the classroom and engage with current debates 
and initiatives in the field.

Evidence of excellence in teaching and pedagogical inquiry can be 
demonstrated through teaching accomplishments, awards and accolades, 
presentations at significant conferences, the teaching dossier submitted 
as part of the application including a strong teaching statement, sample 
syllabi, course materials, and teaching evaluations, as well as strong 
letters of reference from referees of high standing.

Duties will consist of teaching and supervision at undergraduate and 
graduate levels. The successful candidate will be expected to teach the 
core courses in WGSI, as well as specialized courses in popular culture 
and feminist cultural studies. This position is located at the 
University of Toronto’s St. George campus.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The successful applicant will join a vibrant intellectual community. 
They will also have an opportunity to engage with our growing and 
vibrant graduate program. For the past 40 years, WGSI has trained 
students to think about the entanglements of gender, race and sexuality. 
Our teaching and scholarship address how colonialisms, national borders, 
labour, and migration shape life, knowledge, and politics. WGSI adopts a 
transnational approach to women and gender studies, an approach which 
speaks both to our location in Toronto, but also to anti-colonial, 
post-colonial and transnational contexts here and throughout the world. 
WGSI’s distinctive strength in transnational feminist studies is 
characterized by interdisciplinary research; critical pedagogy; 
collaborations with a broad group of affiliated faculty; and work with a 
wide range of communities and other social justice actors. For more 
information about WGSI, please visit http://www.wgsi.utoronto.ca

peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region. Today, this meeting 
place is the home to many indigenous people from across Turtle Island 
and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
