-------------------------------------------

I am happy to take inquiries about the department and the area. SIUE as an
institution seems to me to seek faculty who embody the teacher-scholar balance
of inquiry and pedagogy.  SIUE is located in Edwardsville, Illinois, and is part
of the St. Louis Metro East area.  Edwardsville itself is a lovely place to live
with a thriving farmer's market, small town downtown, and award-winning public
schools.  There are also expansive bike trails through the Madison County Trail
system.  St. Louis, Missouri, is only 30 minutes away and has many wonderful
museums (most of them free; the St. Louis Art Museum has inscribed in stone
above its entry way: Dedicated To Art And Free To All) and entertainment
opportunities in the arts.  And of course, there are the Cardinals, the Rams,
and the Blues if you like baseball, football, or hockey, respectively.

Our department is diverse in terms of content and has a strong connection with
the Women's Studies Program
(http://www.siue.edu/artsandsciences/womensstudies/), with both male and female
department members teaching courses with feminist content. Our current
department chairperson and the previous two chairpersons have been senior female
faculty and include Margaret "Peg" Simons, whom you may know of for her work on
Simone de Beauvoir.  Our department provides professional ethics
education for a variety of disciplines within the university.  Our
undergraduates maintain a local chapter of Phi Sigma Tau, the national
philosophy honors society and organize a well-reputed undergraduate philosophy
conference every year.  There is also a thriving Black Studies program at
SIUE (http://www.siue.edu/blackstudies/) and active support for LGBT students
and faculty (http://www.siue.edu/lgbt/).  The campus, itself, is heavily wooded
and has numerous trails through the woods for hiking, running, or mountain
biking.

If you know anyone who fits any part of the job description's wish list, please
feel free to forward this e-mail to them.

Best,
  Alison
