Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Native North American and Indigenous Studies, University of Virginia

University of Virginia

Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Native North American and Indigenous Studies

The University of Virginia Program in American Studies invites applications for a two-year Post-Doctoral Fellowship in contemporary Native North American studies (including Canada, United States and Mexico).  We seek a scholar and teacher whose work is grounded in knowledge of a particular culture or region gained firsthand through direct interaction with Native people, while also situating this knowledge in relation to wider movements, theories and trends.  The successful fellow’s work will ideally connect the local, the regional/national, and the global through engagement with issues of language and cultural heritage, or media production and representation. We would welcome applications from scholars whose work develops understandings of Native North American aesthetics, such as ethnopoetics, translation, or contemporary art forms (material or expressive cultures, music, dance, theater, storytelling, museums, or film). 
The Fellow will hold an appointment in American Studies or a joint appointment in American Studies and a department relating to area of research and teaching.  In addition, the Fellow will participate in the newly formed Americas Center, an interdisciplinary center that draws together and anchors the University’s dispersed expertise in the Americas within and across national and ethnic boundaries.  The Fellow will conduct their own research, teach one course per semester, and take the lead in organizing a symposium in the second year of the appointment on a topic relevant to the Fellow’s research on contemporary Native North America.  This symposium will ideally lead to a publication and funding has already been allocated by the Dean’s Office of the College of Arts and Sciences for the symposium.
Applicants must be on track to receive a Ph.D. in a relevant field by May 2016 and must hold a PhD at the time of appointment.  The anticipated start date for the Fellowship period is August 25, 2016 and will end May 31, 2018. Pay is competitive, and benefits are included.
To apply, submit a Candidate Profile online through Jobs@UVa (https://jobs.virginia.edu), search on posting number 0618012, and electronically attach a letter of application, C.V. (including a list of three references), and a 2 page outline of the proposed symposium attached under Writing Sample 1.  Review of applications will begin on February 15, 2016. However, the position will remain open until filled. Questions regarding the application process in Jobs@UVa should be directed to Carol Westin, caw2rd@virginia.edu
The University will perform background checks on all new faculty hires prior to making a final offer of employment.  The University of Virginia is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS-DEADLINE FEBRUARY 1st!

Sixth International Conference on Immersion & Dual Language Education
Connecting Research and Practice Across Context
October 20-22, 2016
Hyatt Regency Hotel
Minneapolis, MN, USA
Immersion and dual language education continue to evolve as highly effective program models for launching students on the road to bi- and multilingualism and intercultural competence. School-based immersion, bilingual, and dual language programs involve a minimum of 50% subject-matter schooling through a second, world, heritage, or indigenous language at the preschool and elementary levels (PreK-5/6). Secondary or post-secondary continuation programs for elementary immersion/dual language graduates include a minimum of two subject courses.

Program models include:
  • One-Way Second/Foreign Language Immersion
  • Co-Official/Regional Language Immersion 
  • Two-Way Bilingual Immersion
  • One-Way Developmental Bilingual Education
  • Indigenous Language Immersion
While each model targets distinct sociocultural contexts and educational needs, all embrace language, literacy, and culture development through subject-matter learning with a high degree of language intensity. Under the leadership of the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA), University of Minnesota, the Sixth International Conference on Immersion and Dual Language Education will bring these models together to engage in research-informed dialogue and professional exchange across languages, levels, learner audiences, and contexts.

Proposal Submission Deadline: February 1, 2016
Proposals are invited for paper/best practice sessions, discussion sessions, laptop poster sessions, and symposia related to four conference strands:
Strand 1: Immersion Pedagogy and Assessment 
Strand 2: Culture, Identity, and Community 
Strand 3: Program Design and Evaluation, Leadership, and Educator Development 
Strand 4: Policy, Advocacy, and Communications
In addition, teacher "swapshop" sessions will allow teachers to exchange and share ideas and successful lessons and practices with one another in grade-level groups.

CALL FOR PAPERS: 2nd Annual Raza Graduate Student Conference University of New Mexico, Albuquerque March 24th-25th, 2016

2nd Annual Raza Graduate Student Conference
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque
March 24th-25th, 2016
CALL FOR PAPERS
Extended Deadline February 1st, 2016

The Raza Graduate Student Association (RGSA) at the University of Nuevo Mexico, Albuquerque
cordially invites you to our 2nd Annual Raza Graduate Student Conference! The RGSA is an
interdisciplinary graduate student organization that seeks to empower and support scholars of color
through peer mentoring, bridging the community-academia relationship, and honoring the histories and
cultures of underrepresented groups. We welcome paper and panel proposals from all disciplines and
areas of the world that engage matters dealing with healing; community development/organizing;
Indigenous methodologies; Indigenous planning; historical trauma; indigenous struggles;
(de)colonization politics and theory; LGBTQ/Two-spirit studies; immigration and immigrant policy;
citizenship; oppression and agency; health, poverty, and welfare; and transnationalism.
The theme for this year’s conference is Atl-Tlachinolli: Decolonized Healing.

The Nahuatl term Atl-Tlachinolli means “burning water” and symbolizes the
coalescing of contraries or contradictions that creates a balanced union from
which neither force overpowers the other. As scholars of color we often
struggle to balance our identities with the realities of academe. However,
many of us see the power of education as an avenue to explore and challenge
the ways in which histories have been erased. By writing and presenting on
issues that are important to us we begin to heal ourselves and our community through the process of
sharing and exchanging the knowledge we have attained with others in our community. The RGSA Atl-
Tlachinolli: Decolonized Healing Conference will provide a place of decolonizing and healing by
sharing our research, passions and presenting our work in an open, inclusive, and safe space.

Conference Topics
● Community Development/Organizing
● Healing
● Historical Trauma
● Indigenous
struggles/methodologies/planning
● (De)Colonization politics and theory
