“Race in Art & Design” Cluster Hire Search Launched at RISD
RISD is hiring 10 new faculty as part of a cluster hire initiative focused on race and decolonization in art and design as part of its commitment to address institutional racism and advance social equity.
In response to student activism and calls from BIPOC faculty members to diversify RISD’s faculty and curricula, RISD has launched a search for 10 new full-time faculty members with expertise in the areas of race, colonization, decolonization, post-coloniality and cultural representation, as well as in material practices of resistance. The “Race in Art & Design” cluster-hire initiative—one of many actions RISD has committed to in its plan to address systemic racism—is made possible through one of the largest (anonymous) gifts in the institution’s history.
