UMass Boston is the third most diverse university in the country, with more than 60% of our undergraduate students coming from minoritized communities and groups and more than half of our students are the first in their families to attend a college or university. Thus, our students come to us from richly diverse life experiences and backgrounds; they bring to our classrooms and research settings the robust range of perspectives growing out of the socio-cultural, economic, and historical contexts in which they have lived, along with the challenges they encounter, engage, and strive to overcome.

Given this context, please articulate how your approach to teaching, advising, and mentoring:

• will engage with the diverse life experiences of students,


• will reflect an appreciation for the ways in which students bring their holistic selves into the academic setting, and


• will reflect how your own life experiences and background shapes your practices and commitments as an instructor, mentor, researcher, and scholar.

Review of applications will continue until the positions are filled.
