Georgetown University comprises two unique campuses in the nation's capital. With the Hilltop Campus located in the heart of the historic Georgetown neighborhood, and the Capitol Campus, just minutes from the U.S. Capitol and U.S. Supreme Court, Georgetown University offers rigorous academic programs, a global perspective, and unparalleled opportunities to engage with Washington, D.C. Our community is a close-knit group of remarkable individuals driven by intellectual inquiry, a commitment to social justice, and a shared dedication to making a difference in the world.

As a part of the country's oldest Catholic and Jesuit university, the Center for Social Justice (CSJ) animates the University's Jesuit values and mission through its work in research, teaching, and service. A component of the work includes keeping with Georgetown University's mission to educate people to be reflective lifelong learners and responsible and active participants in civic life and service to others, consistent with the university's Jesuit identity and its institutional commitment to pursuing justice and the common good. The Center for Social Justice takes a curricular approach steeped in cultural humility and epistemic justice to the delivery of co-curricular programs and services.

The Associate Director, Advocacy and Racial Justice is responsible for coordinating and delivering the integration of CSJ-wide racial justice programming particularly through dialogue for student leaders across CSJ staff-run programs and student-led organizations. A bridge-builder among individuals and campus units and partners, this position works to connect faculty and staff colleagues, student-facing units, and student organizations to the University's missional initiative that uplifts racial justice. The Associate Director serves as a member of CSJ's Engaged Scholarship and Pedagogy team and contributes fully to the life, presence, and community of the Center for Social Justice and the Division of Student Affairs. Additional duties include, but are not limited to:

• Implement CSJ-wide year-round integration of co-curricular racial justice programming for students, across CSJ staff-run programs and student-led organizations.
• Use the pedagogy of dialogue (as distinct from training or workshops) as a force for bringing students together around conversations of race, racialization, and racial justice towards motivating social action.
• Serve as a key educator at Georgetown University on advocacy for equity, social justice, and institutional change, in collaboration with external partners.
• Convene an internal cross-functional team on advocacy, ensuring that advocacy work is integrated into academic, co-curricular, and community engagement efforts across the CSJ.
• Provide dynamic support for academic initiatives that align with the University's mission and the Center's commitment to social justice education and change, teaching an asynchronous 1-credit online social action course during the fall and/or spring semesters.
• Represent CSJ on campus in university-wide activities, such as cross-departmental committees, position searches, and student organization activities, representing CSJ off campus in diverse professional settings including conferences and meetings.

CSJ's Associate Director, Advocacy and Racial Justice, works with students, faculty, staff, relevant Centers and Institutes and diverse DMV-based partners. This position's supervisor and manager is CSJ's Director of Engaged Scholarship and Pedagogy. This position works with the entire Center for Social Justice professional team and wider Georgetown community, most notably units such as the Center for Multicultural Equity and Access and the Office of Student Equity and Inclusion in the Division of Student Affairs, as well as the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS) and the Office of Mission and Ministry. This position supervises one Justice Graduate Intern (Master's level student) and a handful of undergraduate students.

Requirements and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree, and 5-7 years of experience, each year of work experience may be substituted for each year of education required
• Master's degree preferred; 2-4 years of professional community-based experience could be exchanged for an advanced degree
