The UCLA Cesar E. Chavez Department of Chicana/o and Central American Studies invites applications for a part-time lecturer to teach an interdisciplinary course in Chicana/o and Central America Studies during the Spring 2025 quarter (April 1 - June 30, 2025).

The department is seeking a candidate who specializes in issues pertaining to Afro-Latina/o experience in the U.S. through exploration of historical roots and contemporary forms, and discussion of themes that include feminism, politics, culture, music, and identities.
