Hamilton College President Eugene M. Tobin announced today that two faculty members have been promoted to full professor. Christophre Georges, an associate professor in the economics department, and John McEnroe, an associate professor of art, were promoted effective July 1. In promoting Professors Georges and McEnroe, President Tobin acted on the recommendations of Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty David Paris, the elected faculty members of the Committee on Appointments, senior colleagues in the departments of economics and art, past and current students and a group of nationally recognized scholars.
Georges earned his Ph.D. and master's degree in economics from The University of Michigan, and a bachelor's degree from Connecticut College. He joined the Hamilton faculty in 1989. His research focuses on macroeconomic dynamics, and his current interests include work on the transmission of monetary policy, indeterminacy in macroeconomic models, and agent-based modeling in macroeconomics. Georges teaches courses in macroeconomic theory, the history of economic thought, and game theory at Hamilton.
Georges has published in Economic Inquiry, Review of Radical Political Economics, Journal of Economics Dynamics and Control and Economics Letters.
McEnroe, who has been a member of the Hamilton faculty since 1983, earned his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto, a master's from the University of Michigan, and a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University. His research interests are ancient, medieval and Renaissance art, historiography, and theory.
McEnroe has published 35 reports in Pseira IV. Minoan Buildings in Areas B, C, D, and F (The University Museum Press) to culminate his 10-year project as architect for the Pseira, Crete, excavations. He is co-editor of Artists, Writers and Musicians, An Encyclopedia of People Who Changed the World (Oryx Press, 2001). He has also published Pseira V: The Architecture of Pseira, (University of Pennsylvania Museum, 2001), and Critical Perspectives on Art History, (Prentice Hall, 2002), co-edited with Associate Professor of Art Deborah Pokinski.
McEnroe has conducted archaeological field work at Kommos, Nemea and Pseira, and has written numerous articles, reviews and excavation reports on the Minoan period.
