*About the Position:*________

The School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University 
invites applications from qualified candidates for a preliminary, tenure 
track appointment in Racism and Digital Media at the rank of Assistant 
Professor beginning July 1, 2021.________

Waves of anti-carceral and racial justice protests are illuminating the 
crisis of systemic racism and inequality in Canada and the United 
States. Although digital media platforms have enabled rapid and 
successful organization of social movements pushing for racial equality, 
they have also helped uphold hate, intolerance and white supremacy. We 
seek a talented, publicly engaged scholar whose research provokes 
challenging and necessary conversations about the linkages between 
racism and digital media. Candidates whose scholarship is situated in 
either historical or contemporary contexts, and those working in any of 
the discipline’s theoretical and methodological traditions, are 
encouraged to apply.________

Preference will be given to those doing research in any of the following 
areas:________

  * media and communication campaigns by anti-carceral and racial
    justice movements;________
  * anti-oppression, decolonial and intersectional theories of media and
    communication, including the study of race’s intersectionality with
    gender, sexuality, immigrant status, religion, etc.;________
  * algorithmic surveillance and control of Black, Indigenous and/or
    other racialized people and communities;________
  * toxic media ecosystems and racist discourse; and/or________
  * the creation by multinational media corporations of a racialized
    precariat labour class.________

Carleton University’s Strategic Integrated Plan 
<https://carleton.ca/sip/> highlights the importance of place and 
convergence in pursuing, mobilizing and sharing knowledge. The 
traditions that inform the successful candidate’s scholarship and 
teaching will allow for contributions to scholarly and public 
conversations about the complicated histories of racism that inform the 
“placeness” of Ottawa, Canada and Carleton, and the role of media in 
reflecting, shaping and providing spaces for resisting racializing 
structures and cultural practices.________

<https://carleton.ca/sjc/communication/> is one of Canada’s top
