Apologies for the Cross-Posting.

When it rains it pours! The Department of Women's Studies at California State University, Long Beach is hiring and Geography is listed as one of the areas of interest (see ad below). This is a separate job ad from both Geography's Feminist Geography position and the College of Liberal Arts' India Studies position (for the latter two jobs see www.csulb.edu/depts/geography).

There is also a fourth position at CSU, Long Beach in International Studies this year. The contact person is Charles Noble in Political Science ([log in to unmask]). I don't currently have access to the advertisement. Geographers are also eligible for this position and are encouraged to apply.

Cheers,
Vincent
