Word on the Street[]

The deadline just ended; but has anyone heard from LSU (Multiethnic American)? 11/4

None for me as of 12/6.
interviewed there a couple of weeks ago. Haven’t heard anything since. 12/7

Any word from TCU? I think they don't have a deadline. (Nov. 20)

Occidental College has "now moved on to the interview stage" (12/1)

Any news from Carnegie Mellon? (12/6)

No word from CMU for me, but according to the WGS wiki at least one person was invited to a Zoom interview on 12/14

University of St. Joseph email 12/6 said longlist candidates can expect interview requests week of Dec. 11.

Any word from University of St. Joseph re: longlist? (12/13)

Nope (Dec 13)
Interview request 12/14

Any news for Cal State Stanislaus? (01/08)

Zoom Interview + materials request (1/09)

had interview first round

any word on campus visits for Stanislaus?
- no word as of 2/6
- Anyone have more recent updates here?
Still nothing?
- still nothing for me as of 2/13. Wondering if there are admin delays
- Still nothing here (2/16). Has anyone's application status on the site changed? Can't figure out if they're just following protocol and ghosting the non-invites.
- My application status says "Candidate Under Consideration" - so it has changed since "application under review" but not sure when it updated to this status; could have been pre-first round interview. With the recent CSU strike and budget issues, my money is on some sort of admin delay with offering campus visits
- Has anyone reached out to the committee?
- I haven't, but my status still says "preliminary interview accepted."
- Campus visit offered 2/21
- ^Did you get a call or an email?
- I got a call from the search committee chair
- any offers made for the CSU Stan position???
4/2 Stan State just reposted this job on HigherEdJobs today (https://www.higheredjobs.com/faculty/details.cfm?JobCode=178744771&Title=Assistant%20Professor%20of%20English%20%28American%20literatures%20and%20cultural%20studies%29)--any idea what's going on there? Are they actually looking for more applicants?
^my sense is that the position has been marked open until filled - so I would guess that this was an automatic republishing of the ad.

Any news for UT Austin American/Urban Studies? (1/14)

Any news from UVA-Wise for their Americanist search? (1/26)
- I think most info on this position is on the 20th/21st American thread. No real updates , though.
- yeah UVA Wise interviews were this week. I have not heard about campus visits yet. 1/26
- any news?
- someone on the 20th/21st American page said they got a campus visit
Any word from Colorado Mesa?
nothing here (2/3)
(2/5) They're conducting Zoom interviews all week.

Any news from Davis & Elkins? (3/22)
