We all procrastinate, but unfortunately not all of us thereby produce timeless classics of high fantasy. twitter.com/nick_kapur/sta…

I agree that massive and super specific application packages are unnecessary (and if anything, getting longer). Having served on searches, you really only need the CV, cover letter, and writing sample to make the first-round decisions. Even letters of rec could come later.

I completely agree! I actually received no contact in two cases where I had an actual *campus visit.* In both cases, the people said they were too embarrassed to call me and didn't know what to say. It's incredibly bad form, but at the same time I don't think they were hazing me.

All that said, it's pretty unconscionable if a department doesn't keep people they *actually interviewed* informed. That's really not too many people to inform. In my department we actually call them all, either way, and let them know where they stand. 5/

At richer schools with an abundance of admin staff, they sometimes make a department secretary do it, but many departments are extremely thin on admin staff. 4/

Some schools have an automated system that tells you you did not get the job about 2 months after you know you didn't, but many do not. Who is supposed to write all those emails? 3/

Is a the chair of the search committee going to stay up some night emailing 250 job applicants? Ideally, yes, but in reality, probably not. 2/

I don't buy this. Being on a search committee is a massive amount of labor added on top of professors' regular teaching, research, and service. People do this on nights/weekends working around their other work. 1/

I'll look forward to it! The breakdowns currently available on YouTube are nowhere near your level of quality!

It's a disastrous day for our democracy. Forgive the long thread. Short version: any candidate who thinks we can just go back to how things were pre-Trump is dangerously deluded.

@agadmator Have you not done a video yet on Vladimir Bagirov vs. Eduard Gufeld 1973 (the "Mona Lisa")?
If so, I couldn't find it on YouTube!

While people are busy worrying about the #coronavirus, "more than 19 million Americans have fallen ill with the flu so far this winter, including 180,000 who ended up in the hospital. About 10,000 Americans have died, including more than 60 children."

“Most of the students concerned – among them Chinese, Japanese and Korean – have lived in Rome for several years, Italian newspaper la Repubblica reports. Several are second generation immigrants who have no relationship with their countries of origin.” 🤬 classicfm.com/music-news/san…
