[Frameworks] Faculty Position at American University of Cairo

[Samirah Alkassim]

 Teaching at AUC is an opportunity to live near Cairo, which is a very rich
and interesting city with many problems and a vast socio-economic gap
between rich and poor.  But, the campus is in a suburb, far from the actual
city, the university is viewed as an outpost of an American democratization
project which is not much appreciated by the real
artists/intellectuals/activists in the region, and the department which
houses this position is problematic.  The line is advertised as TT, but you
will probably not get tenure unless you are sympatico with the neo-liberal
project of the university.
