Children's 2009

OK, folks -- it seems like we're not reporting here. Anyone hearing anything yet?

Just a bunch of acknowledgement forms -- some haven't even gotten to the EOE cards yet. Oh, and two schools did directly state in their acknowledgement letters that they were hoping to contact finalists for more materials in mid to late Nov and schedule interviews for MLA in early Dec. Not the most ideal timeline, but at least they communicated it.

--Very good! It's nice to keep the fellowship alive and understand where we all stand in this wild year. Much thanks!

Also appears as though several of these schools will be bypassing MLA (though MLA isn't a concern at all for Rutgers Childhood Studies Dept.), going straight to campus interviews. Apparently there are restrictions/parameters on this, that schools can't do it too early in relation to MLA, so that candidates can make informed choices, etc.

Rutgers, Camden (Childhood Studies Dept.): Letter of acknowledgment snail mail, 10/20

Anyone heard any news about interviews from Rutgers? 12/11

No, but I don't think its too much of a concern right now since they don't interview at MLA. However, we might want to check the job wikis for other fields since their childhood studies dept includes history, economics, psychology, education, sociology, criminal justice, etc. Also, their chair is CL and they have quite a few CL profs already -- maybe they're not going the lit route this time???
