specialization and help develop an interdisciplinary program of
research


and teaching in human rights and media, bringing together students and

faculty from the arts, literature, social studies, and the sciences.


The Professorship is designed to encourage innovative study of the ways

in

which new information and communications technologies have affected,

Globalization and International Affairs, the International Human Rights

Exchange, as well as the College's long-term commitment to innovative

additional three years. Salary, benefits, rank, and tenure

considerations

are flexible and commensurate with experience.
