Of course this Black and Feminist position has a 5/4 work-load, two bosses, and is non-tenure track.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I've heard that this department is hostile towards women of color. Based on this job ad it seems like that may be true.

yeah, even with the full time salary (~50k i think?), this is a lot for one person to hold on that campus - clearly almost every black student would be looking to this person for mentorship!

they are on the quarter system, so 9 courses over the year is 3/3/3 (still a lot of teaching, but not 5/4)

My sister is a graduate student in one of these departments and I can confirm that women of color do have a difficult time here, but there presence is very much needed. Whoever gets hired will likely have a difficult time, but will really make a difference!

This position just got re-posted in the Chronicle. Was that just a mistake? Or, did something happen with the hiring process after campus interviews?

My understanding is that the person who got the offer accepted it. I heard rumors about the Northwestern visiting professor job re-opening but I am not sure if it's true whether that search failed or not. 3/28
