European Studies
European History
British History

The Department of History at the University of South Carolina wishes to hire a historian with demonstrated research and teaching interests in the history of nationalism and separatism for a tenure track assistant professorship. The search is open to any geographic and chronological specialization within modern history since c. 1750. Applications from those taking a comparative, international approach to the study of nationalism and separatism are especially welcome. Those with specialized research interests focusing on a particular country or region should be able to place their subject within a broad
international context.

This search is part of the University's Faculty Excellence Initiative
program and will also involve related searches in Anthropology and Law. The goals are to foster an interdisciplinary group on nationalism and separatism among new and existing scholars at the University of South Carolina, generate programs for the broader community of scholars, and create an international venue for the examination of a subject of timely and compelling significance.

The earlier Inferno prototype has been considerably expanded thanks to recent funding from the NEH and other foundations. The new site has a new domain name.

The enhanced site includes the Italian text and Allen Mandelbaum’s translation of the Divine Comedy marked up in XML; an interactive timeline; an interactive version of Botticelli’s Chart of Hell; an array of maps of Dante’s Italy and all three realms of the afterlife; musical recordings of the liturgical chants and hymns mentioned in Purgatory and Paradise; a gallery of more than 600 images; a searchable database; and teaching resources and activities. Many historians contributed to information this site. The World of Dante offers a dynamic analytical tool that we hope will accommodate a wide range of approaches to teaching the Divine Comedy.

If you use the site in teaching I'd be grateful for any feedback.

exploration of the relevance of religion for international relations.

studies will be welcome. Every article submitted for publication
undergoes the process of double blind peer review.
