12/15 - does it seem right to read the ad such that if they are interviewing in Islamic History, then they have decided not to interview in Atlantic world or European Intellectual History? So if we applied in one of those fields, then, oh well?
- No reason to assume that they aren't interviewing in the other two fields just because it hasn't been posted here. Far from everyone uses the wiki. All three fields are marked in the AHA job center program.
- IT IS THE 23RD OF DEC AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT DECIDED AS TO WH0M AMONG THE EUROPEANISTS T0 INTERVIEW? THIS HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF BAIT AND SWITCH. WHAT, ARE WE GOING TO GET OUR INVITES THE DAY OF? apologies for the tone. some europeanisits put a lot of work into that application and we are getting completely disresepected.
