Wolfville, Canada Acadia University Full time

**Faculty of Arts**
**Assistant Professors - Department of Sociology**

**Contractually Limited Term Position**
**Position #: 11304**

Acadia University and the Department of Sociology acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and
unceded territory of the Mi’kmaw Nation. This land is governed by the treaties of Peace and Friendship, first
signed by the Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqey, Peskotomuhkatiyik, and the British Crown in 1726. These treaties did not
implicate or affirm the surrender or transfer of land to the British, but recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqey title
and set the rules for what was to be a long-standing relationship between nations. As an educational
institution, we are continually learning more about how we can deeply engage and move forward the work of
truth, reconciliation, and equity. As Sociology faculty, staff, and students, we are grateful to live and work in
Mi’kma’ki. We recognize that without action, an acknowledgment is empty. It marks the beginning of the work
ahead of us, not the end.

Acadia University is located in Mtaban, Mi'kmaki, and is committed to upholding the spirit and tenets of the
Treaties of Peace and Friendship, as well as respecting the historical and contemporary contributions of African
Nova Scotians to the land, culture, and life of the region. Acadia University is recognized as one of Canada’s
premier undergraduate universities, offering a liberal arts education unique among post-secondary institutions.
Acadia offers a stimulating, vibrant environment, on and off campus, where dedicated faculty inspire and
challenge students to be their best through supportive personalized learning environments, holistic education,
and nurturing community engagement. Academic innovation and a technology-rich teaching and learning
environment have garnered the university a reputation for excellence. Our progressive workplace is located 100
km from Halifax in Nova Scotia's beautiful Annapolis Valley. With a progressive commitment to sustainability,
the region offers locally-crafted artisan food and beverage, with many communities embracing organic, fair-trade,
and farm-to-table ideals. There is a small, but vibrant, francophone community in the Annapolis Valley, and the
university campus is situated 6 kms from Grand-Pré National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that
commemorates and celebrates Acadian contributions to the region.
