Candidate Outreach Guidance for Indigenous Studies Job Searches

Indigenous research methodologies do not cleanly map onto conventional disciplinary methodologies and areas of study. Indigenous intellectual traditions and research practices can lead to creative and important innovations across departments and in classrooms. When preparing and executing search plans, it’s important to be aware of some of these distinctions. Thus, we suggest that departments and search committees engage in sustained conversation with Indigenous faculty and experts in Indigenous Studies throughout the entire search process, giving them ample time to participate in all deliberations, and taking their recommendations seriously.

JOB ADS
Scholars working in Indigenous studies may use terminology and methods that differ from those that are most common in a given field. Language in a job advertisement, even the most well-intended, may reproduce hurtful or biased terminology or methods that may be off-putting to candidates. Periodization can also be limiting, as many Indigenous intellectual traditions do not separate past-present-future, as is more common in Western academic traditions. Instead, Indigenous intellectualism is often place-based. Consult with Indigenous faculty, Indigenous studies scholars, and faculty in related fields, to ensure the language of job ads target the kinds of applicants the department wants to recruit.

OUTREACH
It is crucial to reach out to Indigenous Studies experts and share the job advertisement with them, and post the job advertisement on Indigenous scholarly listservs, websites, etc. The Native American and Indigenous Studies Association (NAISA) has space on the organization’s website for job advertisements: https://naisa.org/postings/job-postings/. Reach out to Indigenous faculty and experts in the fields for suggestions on where to post job advertisements and inquire if they can suggest the names of other Indigenous studies scholars to whom you might directly send the advertisement. Effective recruitment also means targeted hires, including targeted opportunities of excellence hires (TOEs) when appropriate.

REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS
Some of the “top tier” schools for Indigenous studies are not Ivy League institutions or prestigious R1 universities. In many fields, the best place to get an education in Indigenous history, literature, philosophy, etc. is at a place with a thriving and supportive collective of Indigenous faculty and field experts, and, ideally, a vibrant relationship with local tribal communities. For example, some of the schools with the strongest programs have historically been UCLA, UC Davis, the University of Washington, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of Minnesota.

INTERVIEWS AND CAMPUS VISITS
It is critical to have Indigenous studies candidates meet with Indigenous campus community members and to invite Indigenous faculty, staff, and students to campus visit events, including meals, talks, or coffees, depending on the preferences and time constraints of the department. While these events do further overburden Indigenous campus community members, it is better to invite people than to exclude them; give Indigenous community members the opportunity to decide whether or not they have the capacity to participate. Efforts to connect candidates with the Indigenous campus community are an important strategy for recruitment and retention. We also suggest asking candidates if they would like to visit the Intertribal Resource Center or meet with the American Indian Faculty and Staff Association (AIFSA) or Indigenous Futures Institute (IFI) affiliates. Actively including these campus community spaces gives candidates a sense of what is available at UC San Diego and it demonstrates that your department is aware that these resources and connections might be important to them if they were to accept an offer.
