Faculty Position Announcement

POSITIONS: Assistant Professor, Social Foundations of Education

THE PROGRAM: Social Foundations of Education (SCFD) at OSU is an

inter-disciplinary program that serves the land grant mission of the

university. Current faculty members work in the areas of philosophy,

history, anthropology, and sociology to analyze educational processes

in their historical, social, and cultural contexts; conceptualize the

goals, purpose, philosophy, and direction of education; and examine

knowledge and knowledge-construction through methodology. In a society

greatly enriched but still deeply troubled by diversity, SCFD provides

much needed theoretical frameworks for discussing and researching

issues of race, gender, class, and sexuality locally and globally. To

build on current faculty and program strengths, we seek a colleague

who can contribute to critical areas of SCFD that complement the

specializations of current faculty.

RESPONSIBILITIES: Candidate must be prepared to contribute to the

program mission of serving the community, the state, the nation, and

the world. Candidate must be prepared to teach under-graduate and

graduate courses in qualitative methodology and social foundations on

both OSU’s Stillwater and Tulsa campuses. Candidate should conduct a

program of focused research and publication in critical areas that

further our understanding of the relationship between education and

society, issues of diversity, and the production of knowledge. Faculty

will also advise graduate students; serve on masters’ theses and

doctoral dissertations; and engage in work with local and regional

communities, professional organizations, university extension, and

grantsmanship.

PREFERRED MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: An earned doctorate with an in-depth

training in qualitative research methods (course work and experience)

and in an area of social and cultural foundations of education (a

variety of areas are welcome, including: economics of education,

politics of education, race studies, Native/American Indian studies,

religious studies of education); three years K-12 (or equivalent)

public school experience; outstanding record of scholarly

productivity, professional service and grantspersonship.
