Lecturer in Intersectional Gender and Diversity Studies

1. Introduction

Join us in teaching courses in gender, diversity, inequality and social justice. As Lecturer in Intersectional Gender & Diversity Studies at Radboud University, you will guide students in analysing complex societal issues from an intersectional and interdisciplinary perspective.

2. Job description

As a Lecturer, you will primarily teach in the new Master’s degree programme in Intersectional Gender Studies. This is a one-year, English-taught Master’s programme in which academic depth, practice-oriented research and professional skills are closely connected. You will be particularly involved as a coordinator and lecturer in courses such as Academic Advisory Training, Disability Studies, and Academic Skills in the pre-Master’s programme. In addition, you will contribute to interdisciplinary undergraduate minors in the field of gender, diversity and social justice, and supervise graduate students working on their Master’s thesis.

Within these courses, you will give lectures and seminars and/or supervise student groups working on practice-oriented assignments, as well as individual students in their academic development. You will be expected to work with fellow lecturers on the basis of existing course materials, update teaching materials, and actively contribute ideas for quality improvement and further development of the study programme. You will also play a role in the programme committee and/or the examination committee.

You will join a teaching environment in which interactive seminars, workshops, practice-oriented assignments and critical reflection are central. The teaching is strongly interdisciplinary and connects insights from fields such as cultural studies, sociology, political science and psychology. Most of your teaching will be in English.

4. We are

Gender & Diversity is a research group within the Faculty of Social Sciences at Radboud University. Within the department, we critically examine how social inequalities emerge, are sustained and can be transformed. We work from an intersectional and interdisciplinary perspective, bringing together theories and methods from fields including organisation studies, sociology, psychology, pedagogical sciences, philosophy, literary studies and disability studies. Our research focuses on diversities in everyday culture and politics, organisations and care, and is translated into policies and interventions that contribute to equal rights and opportunities.

The department is part of the broader Radboud Gender & Diversity Studies collaboration and is involved in delivering the Master’s programme in Intersectional Gender Studies. This programme is strongly interdisciplinary and practice-oriented: students learn to analyse complex societal issues and work on assignments for organisations, serious gaming and research projects around current themes such as health inequalities, algorithmic discrimination, and inclusive policy development. Within our team, we value small-scale teaching, engagement, collaboration and the ambition to contribute to social justice.
