By the way, manipulating the candidate pool to hire a minority has NOTHING to do with affirmative action - it's simply an unethical practice. good luck! *Let's keep it professional. This is all conjecture and idle gossip anyway. African History is rife with this sort of thing. The process is hard on everyone.

(3/9) *I heard yes. *This is just to confirm that as expected the position went to a minority with no expertise in African history proper, limited teaching experience and paltry publication record.

(11/10)-not yet (11/11)-request for interview (11/12)- did you just get invited for the interview today? and is it still in New Orleans? (11/12)-yes and yes (11/12) *At least one person has been invited for an on-campus December interview (12/3) *out of curiousity - is anyone who has been invited for an on-campus interview ABD? or has everyone already defended? thanks. (12/3) *one is ABD, one maybe not. (12/3) *3 short-listed as far as I know; 1 is ABD.

I wonder if the large number of searches is forcing the search committee to use telephone interviews over conferences. (12/29) *I applied and haven't heard anything since the email confirmation (12/29) *Still no news (1/9) *Nothing yet on this one (1/20) *Still nothing on this one - maybe Lane Kiffin's depature has caused the delay (1/26) *Someone on the Ethnic Studies Wiki said they contacted the dean on this search who claimed that they would be narrowing down the applicant pool by the end of the week of 1/25 (2/2) *And?? (2/19) *Nothing. My gut feeling is that UT will not bother sending rejection letters due to the high number of applicants. I wold imagine they have already done preliminary interviews by now. But, I don't know any of this for sure. (2/19) *Any idea what's going on here? (3/9) *rejection (finally!) received. Said they were overwhelmed with applications (5/11) '''Western Carolina University''' *Received confirmation of receipt by email in mid-November (12/8) *Phone conversation last week, they will short-list candidates for campus interviews. *Any news from Western (1/19) *They have done at least one on campus interview *they put the ad up again on Inside Higher Education. i applied for this job years ago, and i can say the faculty are very collegial there. there are some africanists in other departments, too. the downside is the high housing costs in the area. but not having a job also creates housing price issues wherever you live. good luck, y'all (2/19) *Offer made and accepted. -- Congrats to the new hire!

(2/19) *No, not all candidates have been on campus yet (2/24) *Any word on this search? Have they finished campus visits yet? (3/9) *I was told that offer had been made (and presumably accepted ) (4/17). '''Naval Postgraduate University''' (North Africa) *any news on this? *any at all? (3/9) '''University of Tampa''' (World and Africa) *Just posted over on Historians.org (the AHA job search site) *Contacted today about telephone interviews (1/22) *Campus invite (1/29) *Are the last two posts from the same person? Did you get a confirmation of receipt of materials before being contacted? Anyone else apply but still waiting for word on this position? (2/5) *You are not the only one waiting, and I am afraid we are both waiting for Godot. I was also hoping for some sort of feedback. I wonder how many phone interviews they did and how many people were selected for the on-campus interview. 2/6 *They are bringing 2 to campus (done by next week). I don't know how many phone interviews they did, but I don't think I got an ack for receipt of materials. 2/14 *Job offer made and accepted (2/19) *Hmm.. unless they made two offers for the same job, the previous post is not accurate.
