Rickford to depart College for Cornell

Sasha Dudding / The Dartmouth Staff History professor Russell Rickford will leave the College to teach at Cornell University next fall, Cornell's history department announced. After joining Dartmouth's faculty in 2009, Rickford, who focuses on black radicalism of the 1970s, became involved in campus activism, assisting groups including Occupy Dartmouth and the People's Coalition. Rickford will continue teaching at Dartmouth through the upcoming academic year, including a senior seminar in the fall and two lecture courses. Rickford said Cornell was the "right move" for his family. "The prospect of my 5-year-old daughter, who is entering kindergarten this fall, attending an elementary school in which she will be somewhat less racially isolated is especially appealing," Rickford said. History department chair Walter Simons said Rickford's expertise in 20th century civil rights is an asset to the department. Though assistant professors sometimes leave the College after just five years, it is uncommon, Simons said. Afro-American Society president Bennie Niles '15 said Rickford attended community events.
