We’d like to draw your attention to a new Call for Proposals for a New Faculty Position in the area of human and cultural dimensions of food, food justice or food security. This new tenure-track assistant professor position will be supported by two OSU Discovery Themes: The Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme (GAHDT) and the Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation (InFACT).  

The position described in the attached proposal could fill needs in a variety of disciplines, geographical areas or historical periods, but must catalyze creative exchanges between GAHDT’s focus area Livability and InFACT’s Culture, Art and Design (CAD) hiring cluster.  Faculty affiliated with InFACT’s CAD cluster work in the areas of food, agriCultures and communities; imaginative geographies for food; and food ethics, particularly in terms of just and inclusive food systems in Ohio, but with an impact on the nation and the world. GAHDT’s Livability focus area highlights the transformative role of the arts and humanities in addressing challenges presented by the climate crisis, struggles for livable communities, environmental justice, land and food sovereignty, and social rights in health and cultural systems.

Deadline for proposals is April 19, 2019.
