The University of Connecticut invites nominations and applications for the Marsha Lilien Gladstein Visiting Professor in Human Rights. This is a one semester (academic year 2001-2002) appointment. The University of Connecticut is a research extensive land- grant university located in rural Connecticut, 25 miles east of Hartford, 80 miles southwest of Boston and 150 miles northeast of New York City. At the University of Connecticut, human rights is emerging as a major interdisciplinary field. In addition to the Gladstein endowment, which provides for a one semester visiting scholar each year, the University has laid important groundwork for building a comprehensive program. The Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, dedicated in 1995 by President Bill Clinton, is committed to the collection and preservation of archival materials and oral histories related to human rights issues. There are strong collections focused on the Nuremberg Trials and the Alternative Press in the United States. Moreover, the University has recently formalized an important partnership with the African National Congress that emphasizes the preservation of its records, oral history and the sponsorship of a broadly based academic program in comparative human rights. Besides teaching a seminar and pursuing research or writing, the professor would be expected to assist in developing a university- wide interdisciplinary Human Rights program based in the humanities and social sciences. We would expect the Visiting Professor to consult with faculty about developing human rights courses in a variety of fields, deliver one major public lecture and be available to interact with students and faculty on an informal basis. Applications received by February 1, 2001, will be given first consideration, but all applications will be considered until the position is filled. We encourage applicants from underrepresented groups, including minorities, women and people with disabilities. Applicants for the position should include a cover letter expressing their interest in the position, a CV including names and contact information for three references to: Professor Altina Waller Chair, Gladstein Committee University of Connecticut 241 Glenbrook Road, UNIT 2103 Storrs, CT 06269-2103 Kenneth J.
