[gep-ed] Lead authors needed for Grenada National Ecosystem Assessment

['Jonathan Rosenberg' via gep-ed]

Dear colleagues,

This opportunity may be of interest to anyone working on Small Island
Developing States, national ecosystems assessments in LDCs, or related
topics.  Grenada is launching a National Ecosystem Assessment, organized
and managed by the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) in
cooperation with the Government of Grenada.  They have assembled an
interesting and eclectic team of academics, practitioners, and local and
regional stakeholders but still are looking for additional lead authors for
several chapters.  There is a particular need for social scientists.  The
work is voluntary but promises to be interesting.   I have worked on
various projects in Grenada over the years and have learned a lot and
developed some rewarding and lasting relationships.  I will be a
Coordinating Lead Author for one of the chapters.  Experience in the
Caribbean would be useful but is not necessary.  The organizers would
prefer authors with relevant terminal degrees but anyone with a record of
related research and publications would be considered.

If you are interested or know anyone who might be, please contact me.  I
will do my best to answer any questions and/or make the introductions to
the project director at CANARI who will be able to give you more details.

Stay healthy, safe, and optimistic (not easy, I know)!

Best wishes,
Jonathan

[gep-ed] Job Position at American University: Executive Director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center

[Paul Wapner]

The Antiracist Research and Policy Center (ARPC) at American University (AU) 
invites applications and nominations for a full-time Executive Director. The 
successful candidate will join a vibrant and collegial community of scholars, 
professionals, authors, advocates, activists, organizers, and creators at the 
University. The Executive Director will continue building a new vision for the 
Center, and help cohere and amplify the work of other scholars on AU’s campus, 
while advancing their own scholarly agenda related to antiracist, research, 
praxis, and/or policy. Research should include an antiracist agenda, including 
the study of racial inequalities and racial disparities. The director must be 
committed to working collaboratively with the Center faculty, fellows, and 
other partners on campus and in the Washington, D.C. region. Qualified 
candidates may be eligible for a tenured appointment in an appropriate academic 
unit with teaching obligations subject to negotiation. The appointment begins

Qualifications

Our ideal candidate will be an emerging or established thought leader in the 
field(s) of race, racism, racial inequality, colonialism, and related fields, 
as well as a thought leader in antiracism and related frameworks with a track 
record and established trajectory of high-impact scholarly, professional, 
and/or creative work that focuses on antiracism and equity. A focus on the 
specific experiences of historically marginalized racial groups in the U.S., 
particularly Black, Indigenous, and Latinx groups, and/or a comparative focus 
on racial oppression and liberatory movements within and beyond the U.S. is 
welcome, as are interdisciplinary approaches. Our ideal candidate will shape 
the Center’s strategic vision and goals while contributing to fundraising 
efforts for research, outreach, and events. In these and other activities, the 
Executive Director will be supported by a full-time Managing Director and the 
university’s Development Office. ARPC’s Executive Director should have a 
significant record related to antiracism which they will continue to pursue 
while leading the Center, while also working collaboratively with the AU 
faculty, students and staff to help define and deepen innovative, pathbreaking, 
and intersectional approaches to antiracism-related research and praxis, policy 
analysis and advocacy, and creative projects on and beyond AU’s campus. To 
browse the eight thematic areas in which faculty affiliates conduct antiracism 
work across academic disciplines, please see:
