The College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University is launching a comprehensive inclusive excellence initiative to achieve greater diversity in our professorial ranks, foster an inclusive university community, and promote research and teaching on topics central to race, ethnicity, gender, sex and disparities in modern society. The first strategy for this initiative is a cluster hire across the Social and Behavioral Sciences Division, where research and teaching on these topics are central. Five of the eight social science departments are hiring this year, see the ads below. The new cluster of faculty will be part of a network of many committed professors already at home in the College of Arts and Sciences in the Diversity & Identity Studies Collective, the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and the Department of African American and African Studies. Additional strategies include extending cluster hires into other areas of the college to build an extensive network, developing a graduate certificate program, and creating bridge programs for graduate and undergraduate students.
