The Department of Classics at Tufts University is looking at
candidates for a tenure track assistant professor who works on
Greco-Roman and Islamic Cultures. Since the demonstrations against
Islamification in Germany became prominent in Dresden and now have
cropped up at Leipzig, my German home, I thought about the
connection between the two. This position can do a lot more now if
it properly exploits digital media and helps to change the public
understanding of what we in Europe and North America already owe to
the achievements of Islamic culture.
