Assistant Professor - Black and Latino Studies (impact of technology on African diasporic communities))
Job
The Black and Latino Studies Department at Baruch College, CUNY, invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor, beginning Fall 2026. We seek a scholar whose research and teaching examines the impact of technology on African diasporic communities through critical frameworks, algorithmic bias, artificial intelligence, and/or digital humanities in relation to African diasporic communities, histories, and cultural expressions. We welcome candidates whose work demonstrates how emerging technologies intersect with structures of power, race, and gender. Areas of specialization may include (but are not limited to): digital archives and preservation, data justice, surveillance studies, critical AI studies, computational humanities, games, or the cultural politics of platforms and algorithms. We seek an interdisciplinary scholar and teacher committed to advancing critical scholarship that interrogates the relationship between technology, power, and African diasporic experiences across historical and contemporary periods. The successful candidate will contribute to our department's mission of fostering rigorous, accessible scholarship while serving CUNY's diverse student body and commitment to public education.
