Hixon-Riggs Visiting Professor in Science,Technology, and Society
at Harvey Mudd College
The Hixon Forum of Harvey Mudd College is pleased to announce a search
for a Hixon-Riggs Visiting Professor. For 2001-2002 we seek an
established scholar in almost any discipline who has a demonstrated
interest in the social and cultural dimensions of computer science
and/or information technology, broadly construed. Concerns might
include, but need not be limited to, issues of internet access, privacy,
and/or security; social and economic issues associated with e-commerce;
changing notions of intellectual property; general problems of balancing
public and commercial interests in internet development and regulation;
the promise and practice of net based education; or the possible
psychological or social consequences of changing patterns of computer or
internet use. The Hixon-Riggs Visiting Professor will be expected to
teach in his/her special area of expertise, to play a mentorship role in
the College's Hixon Forum for Responsive Technology, give public
lectures or presentations, and organize a conference or program on a
topic of current interest. The appointment is for either a semester or a
full academic year, and its terms are negotiable. The Professorship
resides in the Department of Humanities and Social
Sciences.
Harvey Mudd College, a highly selective member of the Claremont
Colleges, is one of the nation's premier undergraduate institutions
specializing in science, mathematics, and engineering; and the Hixon
Forum is closely associated with the STS Program of the Claremont
Colleges. Harvey Mudd College is actively concerned with fostering
diversity in its faculty, staff, and student body, and welcomes
applications from women and underrepresented minorities.
Please address inquiries or nominations to Professor Richard Olson, The
Hixon Forum, Harvey Mudd College, 301 East 12th Street, Claremont, CA
91711 (or to olson@hmc.edu). Since we are creating a long-term list of
people interested in this position, we invite inquiries whether or not
visiting during the coming academic year is possible.
