Diversifying our curriculum geographically, temporally, and thematically is a high priority, so evidence of comparative and cross-cultural scholarship is especially welcome. Evidence of methodological innovation and creative teaching strategies is also highly desirable. Please consult the History website at Macalester College for our current offerings. If appropriate, successful candidates can play important roles in the college’s interdisciplinary programs, including Urban Studies; International Studies; Environmental Studies; Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; and the First Year Seminar Program. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2015, and will continue until the position is filled. Applications received by this date will be assured of full consideration.
