 * 10/16 I though rec letters were required with the other app materials - maybe just trying to complete application?
 * 10/16 When preparing application materials last month, I asked the chair whether they wanted names of references or actual letters. He said names of references would suffice. It could just be that they decided they wanted letters from everyone after all, but it sounds like not everyone got this latest request?
 * Received the request yesterday. Email was vague, and I only sent a list of references with the inital application. Letters were requested for 10/30.

Rejection (no interview):

Preliminary interview scheduled (please specify: phone, Skype ...): Skype interviews scheduled 10/30 for 11/3-13
 * So interviews were scheduled before all the requested letters were even in?

NOTES:


 * Just today my application to this position showed up "Incomplete" on Interfolio with letters newly requested. Did I just miss this the first time or was this a "request for additional materials?"


 * I just checked Interfolio and see a newly "Incomplete" status for this application as well, but haven't received an email asking for letters.  Has anyone received such an email?


 * Yes, I received an email asking for letters. Maybe they are coming in staggered one at a time?
 * Received a request for letters 11/23. My area is AfAm + US media/Hollywood, so maybe the requests were staggered depending on the joint appointment (French, English, AfAm)?


 * I received an email too, late in the day on Friday. I think it is the next stage of the selection process, they basically added this new requirement and activated the folder to accept the letters. Once you upload the letters it will show as complete again.


 * So does anyone have an application status that DIDN'T change to "Incomplete" yesterday?
 * I also got a letter; wrote a response and got a very nice note almost immediately.  Though I know that doesn't add clarity to whether this is a long list or if everyone got a letter request.
 * (11/16) My interfolio application lists me as incomplete and needing to file letters too, but I didn't get an email.  According to the Yale office, only those people whose candidacy is advancing have been contacted; it seems as if everyone's Interfolio application is now incomplete though.  The person in the office wasn't categorical, but I think if you didn't get an email you're done.  A bit messy, no?
 * (11/17) Same here, incomplete interfolio application but no email. I guess everyone received it? Out of curiosity to those who received emails, what field of specialization did you identify?
 * (11/17) ^^ History and Theory of Media


 * Did anyone get a timeline for the next stage?
 * So has anyone else received NEITHER a formal rejection email NOR a request for letters at this point?  Am assuming I've been wiki-jected, but the quirkiness of this process is keeping faint hopes alive...
 * I had assumed I was out of the running based on the information here (although I missed that rejection emails went out). Today, on 12/2, I just got a request for letters of recommendation and a research statement. Weird weird weird. (My field: History and Theory of Media) - x2
 * I noticed on interfolio that there was a request for a research statement, but I was only asked for letters.  Was anyone else asked for a research statement?  Maybe it is a junior/senior thing? REPLY: You're right, the email specified only letters; I uploaded the research statement anyway, since it was there on the interfolio page and I had one burning a hole in my pocket.

Course description: Expressive Culture: Film CORE-UA 9750 Film and American Politics: Introduces students to the formal study of film while exploring the changing popular vision of American politics that is seen in films about Washington, D.C. From the populism of the Depression era films of Frank Capra to post-WWII paranoia, the cynical films of the post-Watergate era and more recent depictions of media-constructed realities, we explore the ways film reflects and shapes our understanding of contemporary and historical American political culture. At the same time, students learn how filmmakers create meaning through the building blocks of editing and cinematography and the manipulation of audience expectations of genres, stars, and “Hollywood endings.”
