The successful applicant will demonstrate expertise in one of the areas above. We especially seek candidates interested in Theories of Intersectionality, Transnational feminisms, Grassroot women's organizing, Feminist histories/futures, Black/Latinx/Indigenous/Queer sexualities. We also welcome applicants engaged in public scholarship, and the search committee is especially interested to hear from candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds and those who have experience teaching people under-represented in higher education.

Clemson University is the leading R-1 public land grant institution in South Carolina. The B.A. in Women's Leadership is Clemson's update to a traditional Women's Studies degree and includes a focus on activism, social and organization change, and leadership studies within its core courses. Global Black Studies is a growing program at Clemson that evolved from student demands for a course of study focused on peoples of the African diaspora. Interdisciplinary Studies is a brand new department on campus committed to intellectual and pedagogical innovation.
