In the late 1990s, Carson's teaching career hit a hurdle when McGill cancelled all graduate courses in ancient Greek, closed its Classics Department, and moved all remaining Classics courses to its History Department.<ref name="LitEncyc" /> While continuing to teach at McGill as associate professor, Carson dealt with this by spending half of each year as a guest lecturer at other institutions, including the [[University of Michigan]] (Norman Freehling Visiting Professorship, 1999–2000),<ref name="Freehling">{{cite web |title=Institute for the Humanities: Norman Freehling Visiting Professorship |url=https://lsa.umich.edu/humanities/programs/normal-freehling-visiting-professorship-.html |publisher=University of Michigan |access-date=20 September 2020 |archive-date=17 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617022858/https://lsa.umich.edu/humanities/programs/normal-freehling-visiting-professorship-.html |url-status=live }}</ref> the [[University of California, Berkeley]] (Spring 2000), and the [[California College of Arts and Crafts]] in [[Oakland, California|Oakland]] (Spring 2001).<ref name="LitEncyc" /> She was appointed John MacNaughton Professor of Classics at McGill in 2000.<ref>{{cite web |title=Biography of Anne Carson |url=https://www.brickbooks.ca/reviews/biography-of-anne-carson-reviewed-by/ |publisher=Brick Books |access-date=20 September 2020 |archive-date=9 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009120324/http://www.brickbooks.ca/reviews/biography-of-anne-carson-reviewed-by/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
