New faculty members represent a range of expertise and diversity of experiences

Connecticut College welcomes five new tenure-track professors this fall, representing a range of expertise in their respective fields that include anthropology, government, psychology, English and history. They are joined by two postdoctoral fellows and eight visiting faculty members.

"Our newest faculty members join Conn’s intellectual community at an exciting time, one in which they will find ample opportunity to engage and inspire students in their academic and personal growth," said Dean of the Faculty and Dayton Professor of Art History Abigail Van Slyck. "Collectively, they bring a variety of experiences and perspectives that will serve to enrich and enhance student learning in the classroom and beyond."

The five new faculty members bring a wealth of specialties to the College's academic offerings that include language revitalization, global peacekeeping efforts, behavioral treatment, postcolonial literature, and 19th and 20th century Africa.
