Departmental Overview
The Othering and Belonging Institute ("the Institute") brings together researchers, stakeholders, policymakers, and communicators to identify and challenge the barriers to an inclusive, just, and sustainable society and to create transformative change. The Institute serves as a national hub of a vibrant network of researchers and community partners, and, as such, plays a leadership role in translating, communicating, and facilitating research, policy, and strategic engagement for societal good. The Institute advances research and policy related to marginalized groups and social cleavages including disability, LGBTQO citizenship, race, religion, economics, public health, education, democracy and the new emerging research on global north/global south relations. The Institute represents a tremendous opportunity to bring leading researchers and substantial resources across disciplines to bear on society's pressing and pivotal issues related to equity, inclusion, and diversity.
Communication plays a uniquely central role in the work that we do, and we are seeking a full-time Information Designer who can collaborate with researchers, communicators, artists and organizers on innovative research, narrative, communications, and cultural products and strategies that seek to re-frame the public discourse around marginality and inclusion.
