Bowdoin College Sociology Tenure track position

by Matteson, Jessica

In the hope of encouraging applicants from Harvard, I am writing to call your attention to a tenure track position in Sociology at Bowdoin College, starting in July 2015. I am also attaching a copy of the advertisement for the position. This letter places the ad in context so that you might better be able to advise your graduate students about the opportunities and expectations at Bowdoin. We're hoping to hire someone whose specialty is either Urban Sociology or Sociology of Culture (popular culture, new media and/or consumption). The description of these two specialties in the Ad is very brief. Below is a more detailed account of what we hope to achieve in our applicant pool. Although we prefer candidates with PhD prior to appointment, we are considering advanced graduate students. Please send excellent candidates our way. Because Sociology of Culture can be defined broadly, we have chosen to narrow our search to a small number of potentially overlapping subfields that will most increase the breadth of our course offerings: popular culture, new media, and/or consumption. In the Sociology of Culture we will be seeking applicants whose work focuses on at least one of these three subfields, although there is a strong likelihood some applicants' work will span more than one of these subfields: Popular culture includes how popular culture is produced, for what populations, and to what ends; the social functions popular culture can serve, including how it promotes social change; the interactions between popular culture and social inequalities; and the globalization of culture. New media (digital, online, mobile and interactive technologies) encompasses the role of digital communication and cultures in contemporary life. It includes the study of how social life is shaped by these forms of media and mediated interactions; connections between "on-line" and "off-line" communities, institutions, interactions, identities and inequalities; and changing contours of social networks, social activism, and global communications. Consumption includes the social, cultural, and economic processes of choosing goods, and how these processes reflect and may affect the opportunities and constraints of social structures. New technologies, ideologies, and delivery systems create consumption spaces in an institutional framework shaped by key social groups, while individuals experience consumption as a project of forming-and expressing-identity. With Urban Sociology we hope to capitalize on current directions in field as it has expanded to cover the study not only the United States and Western Europe but of urban areas globally: Issues of community inequality such as segregation, urban poverty, community politics, distribution of resources in urban landscapes, the growth and life of shantytown communities, and crime. Transnational communities found in urban areas, focusing on such issues as migrant community ties across political, ethnic, or religious borders. Environmental issues with attention to issues of sustainability, suburbanization and sprawl, relationships among cities, suburbs, and rural areas, and/or to issues of environmental justice. Many thanks. Sincerely, Susan Bell Susan E. Bell Professor of Sociology A.

Junior org search at Brown

by Matteson, Jessica

FYI From: Nitsan Chorev <nitsan_chorev(a)brown.edu<mailto:nitsan_chorev@brown.edu>> Date: Wednesday, July 30, 2014 at 12:26 PM Subject: Junior org search at Brown We're having a job search (junior position) at the department - it's an organizations search but we want it to be as broadly defined as possible and interested in particular with scholars who will be able to bridge between organizations and other interests at the department, such as development, environment, demography and so on. Could you let graduate students at your department know? Thanks! Nitsan PS - here is the more formal "dear friend" letter we are circulating. This Fall, the Brown University Sociology Department will be recruiting for a tenure track position in Organizational Sociology, at the Assistant Professor level. I'm hoping that you'll help us to spread the word, by sharing the attached job announcement with your ABD and recent PhD students. I'm also hoping that you'll take a minute to point us toward any particularly promising candidates whom we might want to contact informally in advance of the official search process. I and my colleagues will be at both the Academy of Management and the American Sociological Association meetings, and we would welcome a chance to meet potential applicants one-on-one, both to learn more about their work and to tell them a bit about the many exciting initiatives underway at Brown. We've defined our search as broadly as possible, and we welcome applicants from all fields in the general domain of Organizational Sociology, Economic Sociology, Work and Occupations, and Organizational Theory. We are particularly interested in candidates who could build on our departmental strengths in development, environment, health, urban soc, demography, and spatial analysis, or who could connect in interesting ways with Brown's interdisciplinary activities in entrepreneurship, innovation, international studies, and healthcare. We're also particularly interested in meeting candidates from underrepresented groups, who might contribute to the diversity of our growing intellectual community.
