Ability Center of Greater Toledo Endowed Chair in
Disability Studies
The University of Toledo invites applications for a tenured
position (full or associate professor rank) in Disability
Studies beginning Fall 2004. Salary is commensurate with
qualifications. Ph.D. required.
The successful candidate must be a specialist in Disability
Studies, preferably with a strong background in disability
rights activism. In partnership with the local independent
living center, The Ability Center of Great Toledo, the
endowed chair will oversee the continued development of the
interdisciplinary minor in Disability Studies, collaborate
with faculty in the Law & Social Thought Program to
strengthen and develop the proposed concentration in
Disability Studies, and contribute to the development of The
Regional Disability History Archive. Other duties will
include teaching in disability studies and pursuing a
research agenda with the potential for external funding.
The University of Toledo and the Ability Center of Greater
Toledo have come together to create a unique Disability
Studies Program based on the value of independent living for
people with disabilities and focusing on the contributions,
experiences, history and culture of people with
disabilities, nationally and internationally. Disability is
understood as a social construct, not a medically defined
condition.
The University of Toledo is a student-centered public
metropolitan research university with approximately 21,000
students, eight colleges, and is located on a wooded
200-acre campus. The Ability Center of Greater Toledo is a
