FYI From: James Ennis <jennis@tufts.edu> To: James Ennis <jennis@tufts.edu> Subject: Fwd: Mellon Postdocs in Humanities at Tufts Dear Colleagues and Friends, If you know a new- or soon-to-be-PhD who might be interested (say in sociology of art, or culture, or perhaps media) would you please pass this along? Needs to be able to pass as a humanist, but we did host such a person a a couple of years ago. If they are interested, have them contact me in the next week. Thanks and all best wishes...
