Calgary, Canada Mount Royal University Full time

Job Description:
**About MRU**:
Founded in 1910 and located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Mount Royal University grew into a vibrant college in the 1930s and became a mid-sized university in 2009. A student-focused undergraduate university built on teaching excellence, Mount Royal University is known for our top-calibre programs, high-quality teaching and learning experience, robust delivery of liberal education, scholarly teaching, experiential learning and undergraduate research. Currently, more than 15,000 credit students choose from 14 bachelor’s degrees and 38 majors.

As a student-focused undergraduate university built on teaching excellence, Mount Royal is known for its top-calibre programs, high-quality teaching and learning experience, robust delivery of liberal education, scholarly teaching, experiential learning and undergraduate research. Grounded in community, Mount Royal is a place where faculty, staff and alumni can know each other by name — and where everyone is welcome. Learn more about Mount Royal’s strategic academic direction at mru.ca/AcademicPlan.

Mount Royal University is situated on an ancient and storied land that is steeped in ceremony and history that, until recently, was occupied exclusively by people indigenous to this place. With gratitude and reciprocity, Mount Royal acknowledges the relationships to the land and all beings, and the songs, stories, and teachings of the Siksika Nation, the Piikani Nation, the Kainai Nation, the Îethka Stoney Nakoda Nation (consisting of the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney Nations), the people of the Tsuut’ina Nation, and the Métis. Learn more about MRU's Land Acknowledgement.

**About the Faculty of Arts**:
The Faculty of Arts houses the following departments: Economics, Justice & Policy Studies; English, Languages & Cultures; General Education; Humanities; Interior Design; Psychology; and Sociology & Anthropology.

**About Women’s and Gender Studies at MRU**:
The Women's and Gender Studies (WGST) Program at MRU is committed to intersectional, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive pedagogies and to providing a brave learning space for students where they are encouraged to think critically, creatively, and self-reflexively in the pursuit of a more just world. Women’s and Gender Studies courses investigate the construction and mobilization of racialized, cis-heteronormative and colonial gender formations and are explicitly interdisciplinary, intersectional, and transnational, reflecting the rich interdisciplinary frameworks of feminist, gender, and queer theories. The WGST Program offers roughly twenty-five courses each year to more than 850 undergraduate students from across campus as part of the university’s mandatory general education curriculum. The Program also offers a minor concentration.

**About the Department of General Education**:
The Department of General Education stewards the liberal education requirement at Mount Royal University. All students enrolled in degree programs at the institution take up to twenty-five percent of their courses from General Education. General Education courses at MRU engage four general clusters that are relevant to all students: Cluster 1 - Numeracy and Scientific Literacy; Cluster 2 - Values, Beliefs, and Identity; Cluster 3 - Communities and Societies; and, Cluster 4 - Communications. The Department of General Education has jurisdiction over first-year courses in the General Education provision, while the majority of the remaining courses are offered by academic units across the university.

**About the Role**:
Particular areas of interest include but are not limited to theories and practices of Indigenous, critical race, and/or transnational feminist, queer and/or trans studies. We are also interested in feminist science and technology studies.
