Department of Anthropology
Lecturer ~ Spring 2013
The Department of Anthropology at Tufts University is seeking qualified applicants to teach one replacement course in Spring 2013. Contemporary Anthropological Perspectives on Latinos in the US will be a special topics course with a focus on an area of the candidate’s expertise (e.g. Latinos in New England, bilingualism, the Afro-Latino experience, migration, transnationalism, identity formation), while at the same time introducing students to a range of anthropological approaches to analyzing and interpreting contemporary Latino communities in the US. An advanced degree (or substantial progress toward a PhD) in anthropology is strongly preferred, but applicants from closely related fields will be considered if they also have relevant experience in anthropology. Please send cover letter with brief course descriptions, CV, and contact information for two references, via e-mail, to lynn.wiles@tufts.edu, or by mail to
