In this dynamic context, the successful candidate will be able to offer courses at all levels, including introductory courses, in our undergraduate degree programs in sociology & anthropology and international & global studies, and our multiple minors. There will be opportunities for new course development and collaborative research projects within and beyond the College of Liberal Arts.
