ODU Gay Cultural Studies Endowment Campaign

As I have mentioned previously, I am on the advisory committee for the Old Dominion University Gay Cultural Studies Endowment Campaign which is raising funds for an endowed post doctoral position in Gay Cultural Studies. The position will be administratively housed in the Humanities Institute, but rotated across departments in the College of Arts & Letters according to the scholar’s area of expertise.
*
The position would be filled annually, with the possibility of renewal for a second year, and would be subject to a competitive national application process. The selected candidate would be responsible for teaching a 1/1-course load (one class in the Fall semester and one in the Spring semester). One of the courses would be a recurring graduate seminar in sexuality/gender studies while the other course would be an undergraduate offering in the scholar’s area of expertise.

I hope local readers will endeavor to attend a fundraiser tomorrow afternoon at Waterside in Norfolk. The details are assetout on the flyer above.
