Word on the Street

 * UMass Boston Hispanic Studies is a dream department to work for. Take my word on this. Whoever lands the TT there is lucky. Yes: I have good intel.
 * Don't limit your search just to postings on the MLA, some schools for one reason or another do not post on the MLA, but rather use the Chronicle or Higheredjobs...
