We seek applications from scholars in the areas of social or cultural

experiences with teaching and research related to K-12 schooling and
draw on one or more critical approaches in education such as critical
race studies, feminist studies, queer studies or critical policy
analysis. We are especially interested in candidates who can teach
courses that familiarize students with methodologies such as community
engaged research, ethnography, participatory action research or other
interpretive methodologies.

The position is affiliated with the School of Critical Social Inquiry
and the candidate will be expected to contribute to the
interdisciplinary program in Critical Studies of Childhood, Youth, and
Learning, and the Five College Teacher Licensure Program.
Responsibilities include instruction of four courses per year,
mentoring students on independent projects, and advising.  A Ph.D. is
preferred. Hampshire is committed to building a culturally diverse
intellectual community and the ability to work cooperatively with
faculty, students and staff of various backgrounds is vital. We
actively seek applications from individuals from traditionally
under-represented groups.

Review of applications will begin on January 31, 2014. Hampshire
College offers a competitive salary and excellent benefits package.
