Please note:
Native American and

are particularly
encouraged to apply.
The
Center for Black,
Brown, and Queer
Studies (BBQ+)
is an independent Center
dedicated to
interdisciplinary
research, pedagogy, and
mentorship in critical
race, Indigenous,
postcolonial, and queer
studies. We seek to
appoint two
1-year postdoctoral
fellows to
contribute to the Boarding
School Education History
Project.
Fellows will work with
co-principal investigators
Drs. Eli
Nelson
and Elizabeth
Rule to
create a critical
meta-archive documenting
and deconstructing the
impacts of boarding school
education on Indigenous
intellectual history and
futurity. Fellows will
work closely with the BBQ+
library on
setting the organization
and scope of the online
collection and will have
the opportunity to
experiment with different
ways of sharing and
protecting Indigenous
knowledge. Depending on
their interests, fellows
will also be expected to
digitize archival
material, conduct oral
histories, and work with
Indigenous libraries and
collections.
Postdoctoral Fellows will
have the opportunity to
shape the scope and focus
of the archive based on
their own research
interests and community
obligations. Areas of
expertise are open, but in
addition to training in
Native American and
Indigenous Studies,
candidates who specialize
in the following areas are
especially encouraged to
apply: Indigenous
geography, digital
humanities, traditional
ecological knowledge and
Native science,
intellectual history, and
library and museum
studies. PhD should be in
hand by September 2022. Native
American and Indigenous
candidates are
particularly encouraged
to apply.
