College of Wooster faculty receive promotions
The College of Wooster awarded Henry Kreuzman promotion to full professor in the department of philosophy.
As announced at a recent board of trustees meeting, two faculty members at the College of Wooster were awarded promotion to full professor: Harry Gamble in the department of French and Francophone studies and Henry Kreuzman in the department of philosophy.
Gamble began his career at Wooster in 2002 and has taught courses that explore the diversity of the French-speaking world in addition to French language courses. His research focuses on the history of France’s colonial empire as well as postcolonial relations between France and its former colonies.
Gamble’s recently published book, “Contesting French West Africa: Battles over Schools and the Colonial Order, 1900-1950,” examines the shifting and contentious development of a vast colonial federation. He devotes particular attention to colonial schools, contending that although they were designed to help consolidate French rule, they repeatedly became important flash points in broader struggles over the colonial order and the future of French West Africa.
Gamble received his B.A. from Wake Forest University and M.A and Ph.D. from NYU.
Kreuzman, who came to Wooster in 1990, has taught courses in philosophy and served as dean for curriculum and academic engagement for eight years before taking a leave to serve as interim provost at American University Paris this past academic year. He also has served as chair of Wooster’s pre-law advising program. He has expertise in the philosophy of science, epistemology and philosophy of law and his current research focuses on the history and philosophy of 18th-century medicine and childbed fever.
Kreuzman received his B.S. from Xavier University and M.A. and Ph.D. from Notre Dame.
