We are seeking a dynamic scholar to serve as Department Chair beginning Fall 2022. The successful candidate will possess a strong record of scholarship; teaching excellence; experience overseeing departmental administrative procedures and governance; demonstrated skill in collaborating with faculty on curricula and programming for undergraduate majors and minors and graduate students; and a commitment to community engagement.

Since gaining department status in 1979, African American Studies at SU has offered multi-disciplinary approaches to global studies of people of African descent. Unique departmental resources, such as the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library and the Community Folk Art Center , have been integral to academic initiatives. Recent and pending faculty retirements have led to a critical juncture. The new chair will thus play a pivotal role in leading the department as it formulates strategic plans to engage changing social, political, cultural, technological, and pedagogical landscapes.

The position requires a Ph.D. with a principal research and teaching focus on aspects of Black life in the Americas, the Caribbean, Africa, or Europe. Scholars in any field of the humanities or social sciences are welcome to apply. Candidates who have met the standards for the rank of professor with tenure are preferred. However, full consideration will also be given to applications from advanced tenured associate professors. The teaching requirement during the three-year term as Department Chair will be one course per semester. At the end of the chair term, two courses per semester will be required.

Applications must include a current curriculum vitae; letter of interest; sample publication; diversity, equity, and inclusion statement; and three confidential recommendation letters. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Journalism student Zoe Selesi relishes her involvement in campus organizations and thrives through mentorship.

Zoe Selesi ’22 grew up moving between California, Nigeria and, most recently, England. By the time she was 18 years old and an incoming first-year student at Syracuse University, she had attended 11 different schools.
At the start of her college search, Selesi was determined to attend a school in the United States where she could spend all four undergraduate years. “I was definitely looking for my forever school,” she says with a laugh. For Selesi, that meant a campus with abundant student clubs and organizations, diverse communities, and opportunities to be involved in a wide range of academic and extracurricular experiences.

Dr. Daniel Taana Smith recently published an article titled -
'America's Leaders Haven't Learned from Past International Rivalries'

She mentions - "Four centuries of western dominance was solidified with an undisputed American preeminence, with the transfer of global power and influence from Pax Britannica to Pax Americana in the post-World War II era. The US has steered the postwar liberal international system that is distinct from previous European colonial empires more or less through persuasion based in the concepts universal rights and dignity, and freedom to pursue one’s own economic and political paths.

Many of these precepts are echoes of the US founding document. Like its constitution, paradoxes lurk in the shadows. Contemporary observers of the world would argue that a new shift is taking place and that the continuing American delusion of grandeur and exceptionalism lacks an understanding of the world in the 21st century. The United States' greatest problems are internal rather than threats from the East."

A new generation of elite Black athletes have taken their mental health into their own hands and now speaking openly about their struggles. Tennis star Naomi Osaka, stepped away from the French Open and Wimbledon this year. Superstar gymnast Simone Biles, stepped away from the olympic finals. Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles, has been a vocal advocate of mental health care. Olympian Raven Saunders, spoke openly about prioritizing mental health.
There is a willingness now to speak openly about the struggles and publicly advocate for better care.
Taking necessary mental health timeouts and sharing them with the world is essential and these Black athletes are leading the charge.
