Critical Race and Ethnic Studies: Assistant or Associate Professor Critical Race Science and Technology Studies
POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a an Assistant/Associate Professor of Critical Race Science and Technology Studies (STS). We seek a scholar whose research falls in any area of Critical Race STS—including scholars trained in indigenous, critical ethnic, Black, gender, and/or trans studies whose work critically engages the embedded racism, sexism, and colonial violence of science and scientific worldviews and their correlate, enlightenment humanism. A demonstrated record of research that de-centers Western scientific ways of knowing and challenges extractivist capitalist practices is especially welcome as are commitments to queer and indigenous ecologies, trans-species studies, and race-radical approaches to STEM. In addition to teaching responsibilities for the new Science and Justice minor, which CRES is developing in collaboration with the Science and Justice Research Center, this position requires a clear commitment to and willingness to lead programmatic and curricular development for the new interdisciplinary minor. Ideal applicants will demonstrate an approach to science and technology grounded in histories of and innovative methods of analyzing anticolonial, decolonizing, liberationist political thought and praxis, push the boundaries of the fields they inhabit, ask provocative questions, and relate critically and creatively to norms of knowledge production. Potential areas of research and teaching focus, among various areas of expertise, include but are not limited to environmental racism; climate justice; genomic justice; war technologies; medicine; public health; governance of science and technology; science policy; criminology, surveillance, and policing; border control; educational technologies; new media studies; critical data studies; histories of antiracism and anticolonialism in science, including the impact of grassroots collective and communal movements against racist science; and CRES engagement with the creative arts that facilitates a nexus between creative and critical inquiry.
Comment:
So UCSC has a whole Department of “Critical Race and Ethnic Studies”. A whole department dedicated to inculcating the necessity of hating white people?
There are “scholars” trained in “trans studies”?
Their “work critically engages the embedded racism, sexism, and colonial violence of science and scientific worldviews “? “And their correlate, enlightenment humanism”? Science and “scientific world views” are violent? With a special sort of violence that is “colonial”? “Enlightenment humanism” is a “correlate” of “embedded racism … ”?
What is “Race Science and Technology”?
What are “extractivist capitalist practices”?
WHAT ARE “TRANS-SPECIES STUDIES”?
“Environmental racism”? “Climate justice”? “Genomic justice”?
UCSC also has a “Science and Justice Research Center”?
