Many overcome these by leveraging digital libraries, participating in virtual academic networks, and scheduling regular video meetings to maintain strong connections with colleagues. Staying proactive in communication and seeking out online conferences or workshops can also help build a sense of community and keep research current.

The successful candidate will also work closely with and have primary service responsibilities in Carleton's Africana Studies program. We are looking for a scholar with a demonstrated commitment to working with students from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences in a liberal arts environment.
