Hello all comp/rhet followers. We’re only two weeks into the semester and already it’s exciting.
As you may know, three of us–Linda Cullum, Amy Lynch-Biniek, and I were in San Francisco at MLA interviewing candidates for our tenure-track position in Comp/Rhet. This week we begin our interviews. On campus interviews are always hectic, but from my perspective they are one of the most interesting parts of my job. It’s an opportunity to talk to great people who are doing excellent work in both their classrooms and their research. At the very least, it’s an opportunity to build networks of connection with other Comp/Rhet folks across the country.
If interviewing candidates for one position was not intense enough, we decided to push to search for a second tenure-track position this year. The position: Digital Literacies/Visual Rhetorics. Our initial plan was to search DL/VR next year along with a position in Multicultural/Multi-ethnic Rhetoric. But when opportunity presented itself to push the search to this year, we went for it.
If we are able to hire both positions this year we will have a total of 6 Comp/Rhet faculty, which will put us in an excellent position to focus on program development over the next couple of years. The addition of a faculty member in Multicultural/Multi-ethnic rhetoric in 2010 will give our little-program-that-could further depth.
In any case, we are looking forward to an exciting few weeks!
