Subject: seeking Professor of Human Rights, Democracy and New Media



Bard College seeks to hire a distinguished scholar or practitioner for
the
position of Henry R. Luce Professor of Human Rights, Democracy, and New
Media.

The Luce Professor at Bard will teach in his or her primary fields of
specialization and help develop an interdisciplinary program of research

and teaching in human rights and media, bringing together students and
faculty from the arts, literature, social studies, and the sciences.

The Professorship is designed to encourage innovative study of the ways
in
which new information and communications technologies have affected,
raise
questions about, and are at play in struggles for and around democracy
and
human rights. Critical and inventive approaches, whether at the level of

theory and methodology or that of discipline, period, and field, are
welcomed.

Research and teaching will be undertaken in the context of Bard's
emerging
undergraduate program in Human Rights, the New York City-based Program
in
Globalization and International Affairs, the International Human Rights
Exchange, as well as the College's long-term commitment to innovative
approaches in the social sciences and international education.

The appointment is for a six-year term, with possible renewal for an
additional three years. Salary, benefits, rank, and tenure
considerations
are flexible and commensurate with experience.

Applications should include a letter outlining an approach to the
concerns
of the Professorship, curriculum vitae, names of three referees, and
samples of relevant work. Nominations are also welcomed.

Applications and nominations will be accepted until the position is
filled, and
should be addressed to:
