==Word on the Street==

Anyone heard about the Emory positions?

The Swarthmore job wasn't posted here, but I wonder if anyone has heard back yet? Posting here: https://www.higheredjobs.com/faculty/details.cfm?JobCode=177270543

I was rejected by Swarthmore's Environmental Humanities position on 11/8.

- Likewise, I was hoping to have been notified for a first round interview by now, but nothing. It feels too far gone at this point, but I don't have anything concrete so I also wonder if anyone else has heard anything? (10/13)

- Swarthmore rejection letters were sent out Thursday (10/15)

- I sent materials to Swarthmore after the deadline but haven't received a rejection letter. Any chance they might be considering me?
