Imaginary Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Let's talk briefly about what types of positions we are seeing posted. Is there a trend? Lately I've mostly seen postings for early Americanists and European Romanticists. Of course, I've also seen a lot of postings for writing and rhetoric. What sorts of jobs might be prevalent when we have PhD in hand 4-5 years from now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhr Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Composition and Tech Comm, with some rhet tossed in for good measure. I see no reason to believe that there won't be fewer lit jobs in five years than there are now. Lit is already being heavily underwritten by FYC, and if more schools start splitting writing studies type programs away from English you will see a rapid contraction of the job market for lit profs.

iExcelAtMicrosoftPuns Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Clerks. That's the trend. We're all gonna check-out clerks. Students are the customers. Our knowledge is the product. Open up for your semester deposit. What a grim reality... I certainly hope it doesn't happen. 1Q84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
