The Extratextuals

While I slack off from writing real posts, instead I thought I’d give a wholly narcissistic shout out to some of my earlier posts. If you or someone you know is on the academic job market in media and cultural studies, this time last year I wrote a multi-part series with some advice, and some great folk contributed their own advice in the comments too, so be sure to read them. Earlier this year, I also wrote a three part series on applying to grad school, and once again some great minds chipped in down in the comments, so read those too.

The academic job market pieces, and links:

• Introduction, and a Warning
• A Timeline
• Think Like a Search Committee
• Application Materials
• “Inside” Hires
• Open Rank Hires
• Searching as an Academic Couple
• The Upgrade Search
• The Phone Interview
• The Campus Interview
• The Offer

As for the series on getting into grad schools:

• Intro & Should You Even Go to Grad School?
• Where Should You Go?
• How Do You Get In?
