Hi all,
Below I have pasted a brand new job posting for my home department. It is being advertised in all the usual places, too, of course. I only mention it here because I wanted to alert any potentially interested parties to the fact that the literary period/field is *genuinely* open. So if you have a serious interest/expertise in postcolonial studies--the kind that would qualify you to teach a survey course that reflected the broad range of work done under that moniker--then by all means all you Spenserians, Shakespeareans, Miltonists, and other early modernists with interests in the New World, Ireland, imperialism, the history and legacy of colonialism, etc., please apply.
Best,
Zack Long
