Du travail

The theory of this weblog is to remake oneself from the ground up and on that theory I am looking at job ads. Here, oddly, is one for which I am qualified, based on what I have become. I would reboot entirely, in a different key, and the current book project would work very well for tenure.

The Department of English at Baruch College, the City University of New York, seeks applicants for a fulltime, tenure-track position for an assistant professor, committed to scholarly research and dedicated to teaching, to serve as a core figure in the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences’ Global Studies Initiative and Global Studies minor. Candidates should broadly have an interest in political, historical, sociological, or anthropological approaches to the literary and cultural studies of global processes and systems, with specific emphases that might include poetics, documentary genres, real and imagined geographies, gender studies, and/or genre studies. Teaching responsibilities will also include first-year composition and Great Works of Literature.

Axé.

    1. I would if I were actually on the market and had my stuff together. To take it I would need to sell the house and possibly at a loss, and I have debt, so I am not convinced I can move (this is one of the reasons I have these emotional crises, the claustrophobia).

      But just think, it is at Lexington and 24th, it would be fun. And before too long I should really work five years or so in a better paid state that pays into social security, so I can vest. So I am working up to this.

  1. (I ought to send out an article, go to New York, meet with the this Spanish professor I know who is now an administrator at Columbia, convince him to be a reference for me; we agree on program development and he would be a convincing person as a reference for this Brooklyn College job.)
