Dickinson College (11/6)
 * Has anybody heard from them? Are they listed in another area (their ad was for "contemporary literature")
 * I just found them listed under "modern and contemporary British" but no follow-up there either. In their ad they asked for "any specialization in contemporary literatures in English" which also means they will have a deluge of apps, I presume.
 * They're also listed under 20-21st century American, and 5 people received requests on 11/12. Looks like they want an Americanist.
