Congratulations Sarah McKibben
|

McKibben’s research focuses on Irish poets of the 16th and 17th centuries, who composed compelling artistic expressions of praise and warning — as well as satire — in the face of an antagonistic, expanding Tudor-Stuart state.

Marian Mullin Hancock
Teaching Award
|
This annual award honors teaching excellence in the area of gender studies at the University of Notre Dame. Via this award faculty members are recognized for their essential contributions to the intellectual growth of Notre Dame students and development of the Gender Studies Program through excellent teaching in interdisciplinary courses focused on gender. The award is named for Marian Mullin Hancock (1903-1992), a benefactor of the Gender Studies Program who attended Saint Mary’s Academy and received many honors for her philanthropic work, including the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice medal.
The Gender Studies Program will accept nominations for the annual award during the month of February.
Nominations for this award are accepted from either students or faculty members . A single nomination for a particular faculty member will suffice for a faculty member to be considered.
|
|
Only members of the Teaching Award Subcommittee and Gender Studies staff will read the nominations unless the person making the nomination grants explicit permission for comments to be forwarded to the nominee.
The Teaching Award Subcommittee will select the recipient by late March, and the award will be announced at the end of April.

Teaching Apprenticeships for
Graduate Students Application Deadline - Feb. 8
The Gender Studies Program offers graduate students at Notre Dame the opportunity to serve as Teaching Assistants for our
Introduction
to Gender Studies undergraduate course. Two graduate students in good standing in the Gender Studies Graduate Minor program are selected for these positions each spring. The following fall semester, the students serve as Teaching Assistants for the Associate Director, who instructs the class. The Teaching Assistants participate in the annual review and updating of the course syllabus, teach a few lectures, help grade papers and exams, discuss papers with students and meet weekly with the Associate Director to discuss the course. In the spring semester, the Teaching Assistants co-teach the class, with the Associate Director in an advisory capacity. During the fall, the Teaching Assistants receive standard TA pay; in the spring, they receive adjunct pay. This is an excellent opportunity for graduate students to strengthen their knowledge and pedagogical skills by getting concrete experience teaching Gender Studies. Applications are reviewed in February, and details on applying can be found on the Gender Studies website.
Applicants should send:
- a cover letter (including the name of their advisor and DGS and expected year of graduation),
- c.v.,
- and list of courses taken in Gender Studies.
Applicants do not need to have had teaching experience to apply.
Deadline for application submission is no later than
Noon on or before the 2nd Friday of February

Call for Applications:
Gender Studies Internal Scholar-in-Residence
Position Description
The Gender Studies Program invites applications for a competitive one-year Internal Scholar-In-Residence position that grants a tenured Gender Studies faculty member a one- year teaching release—one course per semester—from their home department. During the year of residence, the scholar will teach one course originating in Gender Studies and receive relief from teaching another course in exchange for teaching, mentoring, and/or programming service to Gender Studies. Specific responsibilities will be determined by the scholar’s profile and interests, but may include developing one or more courses in targeted subject areas, teaching one of Gender Studies’ core courses, and/or developing a specific program initiative. To participate fully in the life of the Program, the Scholar-in-Residence is expected to work primarily from the Gender Studies office for the term of their commitment and to be regularly available for meetings with Gender Studies staff, faculty, and students.
The Internal Scholar-in-Residence (ISR) will collaborate with the Gender Studies Associate Director and Director, and will be a close colleague with the incoming postdoctoral fellow in a mutual relationship that promises career mentorship for the postdoctoral scholar and increased familiarity with contemporary Gender/Feminist/Sexuality Studies for the more senior ISR.
Qualifications
We welcome applications from tenured faculty who are Concurrent or Affiliated with the Gender Studies Program. The position is contingent on approval from the candidate’s department chair and the Dean of the College of Arts & Letters.

Gender Studies is about understanding people, both yourself and others. Gender Studies teaches us how human identities are shaped by gender and related traits such as sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion and nationality. Through Gender Studies, we not only strive to understand people better, but because of this endeavor, we hopefully become more understanding people.
