VISITING POSITION
The Department of Religion at Williams College seeks to appoint a one-year visiting assistant professor in Islam in context, for the 2013-14 academic year. We seek someone whose expertise in Islam will also address the religious complexities of either South Asia, Southeast Asia, or Africa in their historical, social, and political contexts. So, for example, a candidate might teach courses on the interactions of Hinduism and Islam or on the history and interactions of Islam with indigenous religious traditions, Buddhism, and/or Christianity in these parts of the world. We especially welcome candidates whose teaching will feature post-colonial/decolonizing approaches. Please send a letter of application, c.v., summary of current research, short description of suggested courses, and three letters of reference by October 30, 2012, to Professor Denise Kimber Buell, Chair, Department of Religion, Williams College, 85 Mission Park Drive, Williamstown, MA 01267.
