US-20th Century

 * George Mason University / 20th-century U.S. History / Advanced Assistant or Associate Professor
 * Johns Hopkins University / 20th Century US.
 * So, how is this different from last year's search?
 * Same search - last year's was canceled
 * Canceled econopocalypse or canceled failed?
 * The way I understand it, canceled failed although it could be a combo of the two that they didn't want to push for a (non-unanimous?) candidate in the midst of a severe downturn.
 * No, it was the "econopocalypse." The deans cut off all searches at the university (except for endowed lines) right before the dept. vote.
