NOTES:

Any news here, folks?


 * None that I've heard. Do we even know if they'll interview at MLA? Have they, historically?
 * A: It would be highly unusual for U. of Toronto to do MLA interviews. Historically, they (and most other Candian schools) don't do MLA, and that practice seems to be holding this year. They are running numerous other searches in other fields, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are just running more slowly on some of them. Those U of Toronto searches that have scheduled interviews so far this year (in Medieval, Ethnic American, and Victorian) appear to be doing video interviews or going straight to campus [12/09].
 * Just one Skype interview noted so far... Does anyone know if this committee is still in the process of selecting candidates for interviews?
 * They have chosen everyone they want to interview and the interviews will happen next week.
 * Actually they DO historically interview at the MLA. I've been there twice with them. Have also interviewed with McGill at the MLA. Not sure what they're up to this year; assume that the skype interview replaces the MLA.
