*Adjunct Faculty Appointment -
The English department at IU Bloomington recently approved Marion
Frank-Wilson
for adjunct faculty status in the department. Chair Ken Johnston wrote: "We
felt that her expertise and experience in Africa and with English-language
African writers would make her a valuable resource person for our expanding
work in postcolonial studies generally." Marion regularly teaches a spring
semester course in the African Studies Program, offered through the Graduate
School, "Introduction to the Bibliography of Sub-Saharan Africa," which is
required of all African Studies graduate students.
