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:
