So many amazing candidates for our faculty, but they all seem to be clones of each other. Same credentials--elite schools, federal clerkships, white shoe law firm experience, impressive records of scholarship even before joining the academy, same job talks about incredibly arcane subjects--all so very impressive. Do these candidates really want to work with our students? Are they going to come here and do the hard work of building our institution, or is their goal to burnish their resumes and move on to a Tier II or Tier I school? It's hard to know. In my cocoon at the library, I am physically separated from the rest of the faculty, but I also feel increasingly detached in other ways. The hiring process makes me realize that what I think the school needs and what everyone else seems to think it needs are not the same.Marie S.

So, apologies for the funky forced spacing in the last few posts!Betsy McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16824582240163409553noreply@blogger.com
