1. Position: Sessional Lecturer to teach SES 1921: The Principles of Anti-Racism Education
2. Course Description: This seminar will critically examine the structures and practices within which learning, teaching and administration take place in educational and other institutional settings. It begins with a theoretical analysis of anti-racism education, what are its confines/parameters within the school system, and what are the challenges for students, educators, staff and other community workers interested in the pursuit of anti-racist work? Among other issues considered are the strategies for pursuing anti-racism and anti-oppression education in the schools, the implications for all members of the school community, and the conduct of anti-racist research for teachers, field researchers and practitioners. The first half of the course will provide a theoretical understanding of anti-racism issues while the second half focuses on practical strategies aimed at institutional change in schools and other educational/social settings. A particular objective for the course will be to develop models of inclusive schooling. Students will therefore spend some of the scheduled class meetings in the second term in independent research study/work sessions.

1. Position: Sessional Lecturer to teach SES 1989: Black Feminist Thought
2. Course Description: This course will begin by examining some of the theoretical and discursive approaches to understanding and interrogating everyday lived experiences of black peoples. Specifically, the course will examine the multiple oppressions and social representations of black women using a black feminist theoretical framework. Part of the course will be devoted to black feminist theory – a theory developed out of black women’s experiences and rooted in their communities. Among many issues the course will examine: strands of feminisms with particular emphasis on feminisms as advocated by the visible minorities; the divergences and similarities of black feminisms; and the heterogeneous nature of black women’s experiences. The course will be sociological and historical in nature and will examine the intersections of race, class, gender and homophobia.
