| So You Want a DH Job? Interviewing, Pt 2 Posted: 14 Jan 2011 04:11 AM PST Yesterday I blogged about how flustered and frustrated I was at MLA this year to have three separate people from three major universities where hiring was being done aggressively complain about the quality of some (not all, by any means, just some) Digital Humanities job candidates, not on paper but in their self-presentation at interviews. In one case, I'm sure there was some prejudice against the field. In the other two cases, it was non-DH scholars who were highly, even assertively receptive to the field and fostered students, undergrad and grad, in this area. My frustration was in realizing, belatedly, that HASTAC should be taking up the challenge of multi-disciplinary DH career building. We need a forum, where those in different disciplines can talk about what does or does not work at an interview for a promising DH scholar. This post is a beginning. |
