Temporary Faculty PoolDepartment of Labor StudiesCollege of Arts and HumanitiesPosition DescriptionThe Department of Labor Studies at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH), invites highly qualified, motivated, and well-organized, applicants for a pool of part-time teaching appointments.At CSUDH, we celebrate and respect diversity in all forms that include every race, religion, gender, ethnicity, veterans, people with varied abilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. CSUDH is seeking applications from candidates who can demonstrate experience in teaching and working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and contribute to the University's mission, vision, and core values.We are a small, growing program that offers classes in the labor movement, labor rights, labor law, and social justice. Founded in 1977, we offer one of only two Bachelor’s programs in Labor Studies in Southern California, along with a minor and a certificate. The program works with faculty in Interdisciplinary Studies, Sociology, History, Public Administration and Psychology, Human Resources, Africana Studies, Chicana/o Studies, and Asian Pacific Islander Studies, and other departments. Critical community-engaged research and creative expression are hallmarks of our program. Our culminating annual event is the Labor, Social, and Environmental Justice Fair, which builds on longstanding ties between campus and community groups, labor unions, high schools and the arts. We coordinate with and recruit actively from community colleges, such as LA Trade Tech. We benefit from relationships with the UCLA Labor Center and Labor Studies Program, the Dolores Huerta Institute, and local worker centers. Our program also has a legacy of working with surrounding communities to combat environmental racism and the impacts of climate change. Recently, our program has created cutting-edge courses on Labor and the Environment and the Future of Work. We are currently engaged in comprehensive curriculum development. Graduates from our program cut their teeth or hone their organizing skills in our classes and go on to work in labor unions or in a range of non-profits, companies, and government agencies. Many pursue graduate study in labor and community organizing, law, mediation, human resources, environmental justice, ethnic studies, and critical race theory.The temporary faculty pool is continuously open, and positions are filled as needed, based on student enrollment and funding.
