Applicants should provide a current vita, the names of five references with at least one of a current or former administrator; samples of scholarship; evidence of teaching excellence; and a cover letter that includes: 1) a discussion of their qualifications to be Chairperson; 2) a discussion of their views of sociology's future; 3) their teaching philosophy; 4) an outline of their current research/writing agenda; and 5) a discussion of what "democratic leadership" means to them.
