Hi All – I’m serving on this search committee, and I am wondering if any of
you might be interested in this remarkably attractive position.  I took up
an endowed chair at Loyola in Fall 2008, and I can assure you that I’ve been
very happy in my new position.  If you might be interested or if you know of
someone who would be, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me –
[log in to unmask] is the best address to use.  All best, Diana

 

FARRELL CHAIR

 

The Ann Ida Gannon Center for Women and Leadership at Loyola University
Chicago (http://www.luc.edu/gannon/) invites nominations and applications
for an endowed chair, the Carolyn Farrell, BVM, Professorship in Women and
Leadership, to begin Fall 2009.  Candidates must be senior scholars with a
distinguished history of publications in women’s studies or related fields.
Candidates will be considered from all fields, although candidates with a
particular emphasis on women and leadership, broadly defined, will be
especially attractive.  Final appointment will be in the department of the
scholar’s discipline.

 

The Gannon Center, located on Loyola's attractive Lake Shore Campus, houses
the Women and Leadership Archives and promotes excellence in research and
teaching across departments and colleges of the University.  The Center
collaborates with and supports the work of the Women’s Studies and Gender
Studies program, an interdisciplinary program that offers a major, a minor,
and a Masters degree.  The successful candidate would actively promote a
research agenda for the Center and teach upper-level courses in the Women’s
Studies and Gender Studies program.
