Bavarder...: On job aps and caffeine

http://blahbavarder.blogspot.com/2010/04/on-job-aps-and-caffeine.html

Ba-var-de`(vi) - to converse, chew the fat, gossip, schmooz, chitchat or "twaddle.". Friday, April 23, 2010. On job aps and caffeine. Oh yes, I have. I am not entirely optimistic about this one - the pool of applicants will, necessarily, be larger. But I do know that I am eminently qualified, which may work in my favor. Second: WHY, oh why, did your doctor tell you to avoid caffeine? Especially since every study since about 1980 concludes that caffeine makes you smarter, faster, and better-looking? As a ...

Bavarder...: November 2009

http://blahbavarder.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Ba-var-de`(vi) - to converse, chew the fat, gossip, schmooz, chitchat or "twaddle.". Friday, November 13, 2009. That is what I still need to cut from my article manuscript in order to meet the miserly guidelines of the review committee. And don't think that these are reasonable guidelines. I am supposed to submit a 7000 word essay (including footnotes)! Who writes journal articles like that? Cross your fingers for me. This must be driving me nuts because it prompted me to update my blog! Edge of the West.

Ba-var-de`(vi) - to converse, chew the fat, gossip, schmooz, chitchat or "twaddle.". Thursday, January 7, 2010. Something to chew on. I'm off to the AHA, under a particularly grim cloud that hangs over the profession. Here's the AHA's guru on the state of the profession, Robert Townsend's take on the job market. If you're brave enough to read the above article then be sure to follow that up with the insightful questions Brainstorm. Asks of demand- and supply-side factors in the history job "market.".

Ba-var-de`(vi) - to converse, chew the fat, gossip, schmooz, chitchat or "twaddle.". Friday, May 22, 2009. Connects the seemingly simple and personal process of getting married to the policing of racial, gender, sexual, and economic boundaries that shored up white supremacy. Laws, lawmakers, and administrators worked hard to make the racial order seem so effortless. Defying Dixie. Tuesday, May 5, 2009. How amazing is this: two University of Wisconsin professors read my mind and wrote a book. For me. ...

Bavarder...: Jobs and applications

http://blahbavarder.blogspot.com/2010/11/jobs-and-applications.html

Ba-var-de`(vi) - to converse, chew the fat, gossip, schmooz, chitchat or "twaddle.". Sunday, November 28, 2010. I am in the unenviable position of applying for academic jobs in a persistently abysmal market. The period of applications is almost over and the waiting for a call has begun. Now that Im an IT guy again, I should go there and they should pay me to fix that crap. 23 December, 2010 11:47. Yes, they should pay you A TON to fix this kind of thing. (The jobs wiki went nuts over this.). I'd rather n...

Bavarder...: September 2009

Ba-var-de`(vi) - to converse, chew the fat, gossip, schmooz, chitchat or "twaddle.". Sunday, September 27, 2009. Blend" That's the new word in trend-setting California for locating a new low in public education. To two different sets of students in one class every single day (until they take their State Standards Test in the Spring). In other words, "blending" is a great business model; when measured in raw numbers we California residents get more grade- schoolers. I can't help but worry over where this ...

Ba-var-de`(vi) - to converse, chew the fat, gossip, schmooz, chitchat or "twaddle.". Sunday, August 22, 2010. From the UO History Depatment website. Peggy Pascoe’s book, What Comes Naturally: Miscegenation Law and the Making of Race in America. With a note designating gift to the Peggy Pascoe Graduate Student Fund in History. Peggy was my adviser. She will be missed by me and the many, many other scholars whose work and thinking she influenced during her very distinguished career. Another Kind of Nerd.
