Latino Political Representation, Participation, and Public Policy

The Department of Social & Behavioral Sciences at Arizona State
University at the West Campus seeks names of potential applicants for
a Southwest Borderlands Initiative hire to join the faculty beginning
fall semester 2006.  The Department wishes to hire in the areas of
Latino political representation, participation, and public policy
formation-three areas that represent crucial research and teaching
gaps at ASU at the West Campus.  The hire's Latino policy focus may
include but is not limited to Latino public health policy,
immigration policy, and the study of decades-old efforts to close
gaps between Latino population and political representation and
participation. The hire could complement existing research and
teaching strengths in the New College on public health policy, or on
immigration broadly considered, including the global economic forces
that push and pull immigrants to the United States. The Department
anticipates that the candidate will strengthen the overall campus
emphases on social justice and social embeddedness.

The hire is open with respect to rank, including to ABD candidates
who are nearing completion of the PhD.  The hire should demonstrate
high scholarly productivity or promise of such productivity
commensurate with rank.

Please email the names of potential applicants (and, if possible,
their institutional affiliations) to Julie Murphy Erfani, Chair,
Southwest Borderlands Initiative Search Committee, by 12:00 noon on
Monday, December 19, 2005:
