Microsoft Word - AD - Centennial Carnegie Chair in the History of Slavery in Canada.docx Centennial Carnegie Chair in the History of Slavery in Canada Dalhousie University – University of King’s College The Department of History at Dalhousie University and the University of King’s College invite applications for a tenured professorship (Associate or Full Professor) in the history of slavery in Can. [...] At least one of their History courses will be suitable for cross-listing with Dalhousie’s Black and African Diaspora Studies program and with one of the upper-year programs at King’s (i.e., Contemporary Studies, Early Modern Studies, and the History of Science and Technology). [...] This position is a Carnegie appointment, meaning that the colleague will be a member of King’s Faculty rather than of the Dalhousie Faculty Association and will be expected to contribute to the administration of King’s as well as of Dalhousie. [...] Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the association uniting Dalhousie and King’s, the Centennial Carnegie Appointment in the History of Slavery in Canada will advance important scholarship worldwide and contribute to the commitments both universities have made to redress historical exclusions and chart a course for a more inclusive and diverse future — key priorities found in Dalhousie’s Thir. [...] Inquiries to determine the connections of the universities and their respective leaders and founders to the practices and economics of the transatlantic slave trade resulted in the 2019 publication of the Report on Lord Dalhousie’s History on Slavery and Race, and the 2020 publication of King’s & Slavery: A Scholarly Inquiry.
