CAA interview requested 2/5

Methinks I dodged a bullet by NOT getting an interview for this one!

Can I ask why you say that? (as one with an interview, is there something I should know?)

Ooh, ooh, over here! Pick me! May *I* take that bullet, pretty please?

Ok, guys - as an obsessive three-times-a-day visitor to this wiki, I want to know the scuttlebutt. I didn't even apply for this job because it sounded so wierd, but my gossipy side is dying to know what is going on. You should read the EM history wiki - they are practically dating on-line at this point! But if you don't want to talk about it here, you can always go to the "Schools to fear" page and report your experience.

Hmm - well, read the ad to begin with...it sounds like (a) it is written for a specific person or (b) it is written for someone who has a schizophrenic research agenda. Did anyone else have trouble really understanding what it is they were looking for? Sheesh...That's why I didn't even apply... I have heard stories that the art history department is rather dysfunctional...

Yep, that was my impression as well. Who is going to fit that description, except maybe the life partner of the chair? From what I've been able to tell, there are some search committtee members cruising these wikis - I only hope they realize that we are not totally clueless.

My CAA interview was extremely pleasant, cordial, and interesting. Call me naive, but I do not think the position is being canned for a specific person. Rather, they seem interested in a hire who bridges a range of interests among the faculty. Rochester did it with their visual culture program; why shouldnt SMU? P.S. I would be well and truly pissed off if they wasted my time at CAA if the position is positioned with a particular person in mind. ..
