James Bailey, a participant in the 2012 Summer Institute at the HOPE Center, has accepted a tenure-track position as an assistant professor at Creighton University.

At Creighton, James will join Michael D. Thomas, a former HOPE Center fellow who is also new to Creighton.

"The department is in the unusual situation of having three people who can teach history of thought, one who has been teaching it for decades, and us two new hires," James says.

James will finish his PhD at Temple this spring and begin his position at Creighton in the fall.
