 * "The department has identified needs in all periods of American literature, especially in early and 20th century literature, and in composition."
 * Does anyone know how "christian" is Trinity Christian College? I have taught in many "christian" schools and there is a wide range. Some would never allow me to teach what I want while other are very radical. Anyone have an answer? Thanks!

University of West Georgia


 * Has anyone heard anything about this job? I can't find the listing now, but it was advertised as an Asst. Prof of English and seemed fairly open, and mentioned wanting someone with experience in secondary education.  To be honest, I can't really remember the exact wording of the ad, and I'm not sure where it would be best placed, so I went with American Open.

Does anyone know anything about the University of Michigan American Cultures Digital Environments Job?

I've applied and gotten their EOE survey, but no word on the actual review. Has anyone heard yea or nay?

Well, the deadline only just passed yesterday, so it's way too early to expect them to be setting up interviews or even asking for more materials. (10/31)

--No, you're thinking of the open position in English. The American Cultures part of the cluster hire began screening on 10/15, and is planning to interview at ASA next weekend (!). I emailed them to inquire; they said they'll be getting in touch with first round interviewees next week. (10/30)
