Homi K. Bhabha, a renowned professor of English, art history and South Asian studies at the University of Chicago, will join the English department next year as a tenured professor.
He will begin teaching in the fall of 2001.
Bhabha is one of the world's leading figures in postcolonial studies, according to Marquand Professor of English Lawrence Buell, the chair of the English department.
"Our colleagues across the University will come to recognize that this is an appointment of University-wide importance," Buell said.
Bhabha's broad repertoire will allow him to enhance many areas of the
English department, Buell said.
"[Bhabha's appointment] will enable us to strengthen our teaching of
literature in English in a global context," Buell said.
