Colby Due 11/15
 * Ack. by USPS, 11/19
 * Rec'd email asking whether I'd be at MLA or AHA (12/10)
 * but no interview request? (12/11)
 * Request for MLA interview (12/11) (x2). I didn't receive the preliminary email asking whether I'd be at one of the conferences, but maybe that's because I had indicated that I would be at the MLA in my application letter.
 * Q. Are people updating both this page and the Women's Studies_Area Studies wiki? I'm wondering whether the updates here are duplicates of what people write there.
 * A: I've been posting on both.
 * Can you post the link to the Women's Studies wiki site? (I can't find it.)  Thanks.
 * Here it is: http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Women%27s_studies_area_studies
 * If you go to the bar on the left, under "Mini Wikis," the drop box offers "AcademicJobSearch" as a link. That will take you to all the disciplines listed on this wiki.
 * Thanks for the link! (you opened a whole other world of distractions for me.)

CSULA Due 11/26
 * Does anyone know if this search is still going on? I noticed that they have an ethnic lit. search with the same deadline and have already set up interviews.
 * Phone interview scheduled (12/12) (X5)

Emory Due 12/1
 * Search put on hold, 11/20
 * Can I ask what the source of this info is, and when they might make the final call?
 * I received an email from the chair explaining that they put the search on hold for financial reasons. Here's part of what the email said, "Until we know the full extent of these unusual fiscal circumstances, our administration has asked us to put our search process on hold. We don't yet have a good sense of the length of this delay, but if we are able to continue, we will contact you to ask if we may still give your application the full and complete attention it deserves."

Michigan Due 11/15

Minnesota Due 11/7

New Hampshire Due 11/20 What time of day did the request come, and how did you hear from them? Thanks! A: phone call at around 1pm CST
 * dossier request 12/9

Did anyone else get a request for a dossier? Given that they asked for the names and contact info for our recommenders, I was wondering if anyone knew if they were contacting recommenders directly where possible, and only asking for a dossier from people whose recommenders they could not reach? Has anyone heard if their recommenders were contacted by the SC? Should we take the fact that a dossier wasn't requested as a sign that we're no longer being considered for this position?
 * No request here, no call either (12/12)
 * I received two phone calls and an email early this week saying that they'd like to interview me and that my letters were missing. Maybe they forgot that they didn't request letters, only names of references.  In any event, they were cool with the information being faxed or emailed.  None of my recommenders mentioned being contacted by the search committee. (12/12)
 * Congratulations on the interview! Were you the one who noted the dossier request on this site originally?
 * No, it wasn't me. I've been so busy with postdoc applications that I didn't notice that they were taking a long time!  Thanks for the congratulations.  I hope you have great luck with the market.  (12/12)
 * My experience was the same as the previous poster - got a phone call saying they were "very interested in me" and that they never rec'd my dossier. (i'm the one who originally noted the dossier request). they sounded like they'd expected to receive a dossier...even though the posting didn't ask for one. (12/13)
 * MLA interview scheduled by phone 12/15 (x2)

Occidental Due 10/31
