Subject: Rhodes College: Global Early Modern Position; Brotton and Shapiro Discussion
Dear SHAKSPER,
I write to share a position announcement as well as an upcoming event.
The English Department at Rhodes College invites applications for an Assistant Professor of English (Tenure Track). We seek a scholar of non-Shakespearean early modern literature, with a particular focus on global and transnational approaches to the era. We would welcome additional interest in digital humanities, film studies, gender and sexuality studies, or race and ethnic studies. The 3/2 course load includes introductory through advanced offerings within the department, as well as first-year writing seminars and other general education courses. Please apply online at https://jobs.rhodes.edu/postings/1865
On February 22 Rhodes College will host Jerry Brotton and James Shapiro for a discussion about Judaism and Islam in early modern England. Brotton just published a brief piece in the New York Times on “England’s Forgotten Muslim History” in anticipation of his forthcoming book “The Sultan and the Queen: The Untold Story of Elizabeth and Islam.”
Please feel free to contact me for more information.
Yours sincerely,
Scott Newstok
Department of English
Rhodes College
