The Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies seeks to appoint a
Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Digital Humanities and Social
Justice. The successful candidate will be a senior academic at the level
of Professor with an outstanding international reputation as a research
leader, responsible for furthering scholarly intensification at York,
and attracting and cultivating a cohort of collegial and student
intellectual endeavour in the field and exploring interactions across
disciplines. S/he will be a world-class scholar in the study of digital
media, communities, and/or cultures as they impact, emerge out of, or
respond to questions of social justice. With a dynamic, substantial and
ongoing record of scholarship supported through competitive external
funding, the candidate will support York’s strategic prioritization of
interdisciplinary and intermedial research that forges a just and
sustainable world.
Research may focus on but not be limited to intelligent, interactive,
mobile, social, or networked technologies; digital methodologies,
cultures, modes of perception, or expression; and/or the ethical and
intellectual consequences of living in and with the world’s
technological conditions, locally, globally, today, and/or across time.
The successful candidate’s research will address key critical and
theoretical intersections of digital humanities and social justice and
the modalities for understanding these intersections from a contemporary
or historical perspective. Ultimately housed in the Departments of
English, History and/or Humanities, the appointed scholar will foster
international collaboration, pedagogy, and public access to research in
digital humanities and social justice.
