Hi all,

My public liberal arts college SUNY Geneseo has a TT position in AOS: phil law, social & political and AOC: philosophy of race or gender. 

I have a joint position in philosophy and women's & gender studies at Geneseo so the Philosophy Department has deep ties to WGST specifically and interdisciplinarity (and we are trying to deepen this part of what we do). 

I am happy to answer any questions! Please pass on widely. (see details below)

Best,

Amanda

The Philosophy Department at SUNY Geneseo, currently with 5 full-time faculty members,offers a major and minor in philosophy and contributes significantly to the College’s Honors program and general education programs.

The department also has deep ties to the Women’s & Gender Studies program and many other interdisciplinary programs. The department offers an outreach program involving students teaching philosophy in local high schools, as well as a summer institute for high school students. We seek a colleague who will contribute to such innovative pedagogy and cocurricular engagements (including by applying for external grants), complement and extend existing departmental teaching strengths, pursue their own research agenda, and support the College’s mission as a public liberal arts college and its diversity goals.
