 * NOTE: Applicants might want to be aware of some context for these positions: VMI's English department recently underwent a shift in its curriculum. It changed from a Department of English and Fine Arts to a Department of English, Rhetoric, and Humanistic Studies (ERH). As a result, six professors resigned, two philosophers previously teaching in a different department at the institute moved into the newly-organized and interdisciplinary ERH department, and five tenure-track professors--specializing in a variety of disciplines--were hired last season. There has been a lot of controversy over the curriculum change, as you might imagine, and there is also a lot of misinformation that continues to circulate. As a result, the department is still innovating and developing the new curriculum, which has some really exciting potential for rhetoric and composition specialists.
