Drama, Speech, Film & New Media

Drama, Speech, Film, and New Media
I propose following last year's precedent with MLA headings - of course this is a democracy, so I will abide by the consensus.

Q: Why is the drama wiki so unused? I'd love to hear more about what folks are experiencing in their searches for drama jobs. A: There's more activity on the Theater wiki: http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Theater_2009-2010 It's listed as 2009-2010, but it is the active page for jobs beginning Fall 2010.

Birmingham-Southern College (Modern Drama/Film)
Due: Oct. 30, 2009

Where did this due date come from? I didn't see any such due date and I applied for this job in mid November.

I thought it was strange, too. I did not apply for this job but for the composition job, and its deadline was December 4.

Boston University (American Drama)
Due: Oct. 30, 2009

This search was cancelled. Check out BU's English Department website.

Lovely.

 * Rec'd "thanks for materials, not on short list" rejection by email 12/11 [x3] . I can't believe there were 170 applications for this job. Brutal.

La Salle University

 * email acknowledgement of materials received; dossiers to be requested mid-November, MLA interview requests early December. (x3)


 * I just received a rejection letter from La Salle via snail mail on 11/16 (x4)Did you find it funny that the rejection letter came in a half-sized sheet of paper? I guess they're saving paper...


 * I thought the half-sized paper was at least better than an email or nothing at all, though it never feels good to get rejected.


 * Request for writing sample and dossier in 11/10 (sorry so late posting)
 * Email rejection 12/07 - made it to round 2, but didn't make it to MLA
