Department Description
The Department of Ethnic Studies at Santa Rosa Junior College is comprised of African-American Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicanx & Latinx Studies, and Native American Studies. As a new Department, we are seeking dynamic scholar-teachers whose scholarship and teaching are centered on the cultures and histories of communities that have played a vital force in shaping America. We seek faculty, especially those from the communities that make up Ethnic Studies, who are innovators in their discipline and whose research and teaching pushes or exceeds disciplinary boundaries for new discoveries and new ideas. We seek faculty who are excited about teaching and working with students from a wide range of backgrounds. We seek faculty with a steadfast commitment to vigorously confronting and dismantling white supremacy through education and multiracial collaboration and solidarity.
African-American Studies at Santa Rosa Junior College is a multidisciplinary academic endeavor centered on black lives and experiences.

In examining white supremacy, African-American Studies at Santa Rosa Junior College explores the life-affirming strategies that black people have employed to survive, resist, and flourish in the past, present, and most especially into the future.
