Chances of Landing Religious Studies Job without PhD in Religious Studies?
As ads for the new hiring season begin to appear, I have a question for search committees, recent hires, and those currently on the market: what chance do you think candidates from other fields have at landing TT Religious Studies jobs? All things being equal - and I mean if I apply for a Religious Studies job that calls for someone that does precisely what I research and teach - will my PhD outside the field (History) hurt me?

Thanks for your replies, and preemptive apologies to all the Religious Studies PhDs out there - this outsider is sorry for crowding your field even further! 68.227.229.91 20:33, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
