She studies race and gender in judicial selection; state judicial elections; backlash against non-traditional judges and challenges to their objectivity; sexual assault on campus; women's leadership; women and girls in Kenya, and women's incarceration in Louisiana. Laura Rosanne Adderley<http://www2.tulane.edu/liberal-arts/history/laura-rosanne-adderley.cfm>, Associate Professor of History and director of the Africana Studies program, has projects on the history of the African Diaspora; the Atlantic Slave Trade; black enslavement in the Americas; Caribbean history; and African-American history. Laurie O'Brien<http://www2.tulane.edu/sse/psyc/faculty-and-staff/faculty/obrien.cfm> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology. Trained in the areas of prejudice and stigma, her research explores how lay people perceive (and fail to perceive) prejudice.

A former Assistant US Attorney with extensive experience with the Violence Against Women Act, she is the former Director of the Tulane Domestic Violence Clinic. Her research focuses on jury discrimination against the victims of crime by race and gender, making particular connections between the two. Just as juries historically acquitted those who committed violence against blacks (like Emmett Till) who broke the racial rules, so juries continue to put the victims of gender-based violence on trial for their obedience to gender rules. She argues that the "discriminatory acquittal" violates the Constitution, and works on procedural tools to prevent it.

Opportunities at Ahmedabad University

by Matteson, Jessica M.

May I request you to kindly bring Ahmedabad University (www.ahduni.edu.in) to the attention of graduating doctoral students and post-docs at your department who may be looking for short or long term academic opportunities in India. I am attaching a detailed note as well. Ahmedabad University, a young liberal education driven private research university, is looking to hire faculty at its new School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) at all levels. The School is establishing five Divisions: Humanities & Languages, Social Sciences, Mathematical & Physical Sciences, Biological & Life Sciences, and Performing and Fine Arts. The School currently runs a five year integrated Masters programme in Life Sciences and will be starting liberal arts undergraduate and masters programmes in 2018. Ahmedabad and India are today a researcher's delight especially if someone is keen on combining theory and field work. India is changing very dramatically in all spheres and the change is throwing up very pertinent and exciting questions for researchers to address. Ahmedabad University is looking to establish serious academic programmes in Arts & Sciences that are also interdisciplinary in nature. The University provides special support for early career academics through startup, seed, and challenge grants and through lower teaching hours so as to allow experimenting with innovative pedagogy & courses and building of their research programme. A majority of our faculty have also won external research grants. The University has a strong nurturing and achievement oriented environment. Ahmedabad University is a city university and is located in one of India's most vibrant cities, Ahmedabad, that is culturally active, where the cost of living is favourable and living is safe. We provide a wonderful opportunity for those who want to be part of the building of a young institution while developing their own academic agenda. Graduating doctoral students who are looking for a tenure track opportunity at an upcoming innovative Indian institution or faculty who want to spend a semester or a sabbatical year in India may contact me. I am also visiting Boston on April 29th & 30th and would be happy to meet with interested students. Thank you.
