Department of Indigenous Studies, Law & Social Justice
The Department of Indigenous Studies, Law & Social Justice at Wilfrid Laurier University invites applications for a Limited Term Appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor in Law & Society beginning August 1, 2024, subject to budgetary approval.
Law & Society is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program rooted in social scientific, interpretive, critical and historical analyses of law across multiple historical contexts. A sociolegal approach to Western law looks beyond authorized texts and formal institutions; it recognizes that legality exists in the consciousness and practices of people(s) touched by the law, in the process of making claims for justice, and in the coercive power embedded in social ordering. Law & Society also highlights resistance to Western law, and alternatives to formal law in structuring social relations.
The Law & Society program is seeking candidates for a 12-month Limited Term Appointment, at the rank of Assistant Professor. Successful candidates will be expected to teach two of the program’s required courses: Introduction to Sociolegal Theories (LY 101) and Introduction to the Canadian Legal System (LY 201), as well as three elective courses offered by the program.
