The American Studies Program at Yale University is looking to hire an assistant professor in Critical Information Studies beginning July 1, 2022. Critical information studies areas of research may include: technology, law, and race; political economy of data; digital epistemology; inequalities in access to digital networks and technologies; how the management of information has become part of the construction and surveillance of forms of national belonging and exclusion; citizenship, migrant status, ethnic and racial accounting and profiling; the biometrics of gender and sexuality; marketing platform companies and AI; and how data infrastructures are mobilized for new forms of security, policing, carceral and border control. We especially invite applications from scholars working at the intersections of critical ethnic studies, critical security studies, critical refugee studies, studies of race and racialization, and digital technology or information studies from below. The teaching expectation is normally four courses per academic year, plus service to the program.
