Throughout January and into February we have job talks and coffee hours scheduled with the candidates for the eight open positions on the English Department faculty. We encourage all grad students to attend as many of these as you can. Check the GEA calendar on this page for dates and times.
The coffee hours are for just for grad students and the candidates. It’s a chance to meet the prospective new members of the department and chat about their work, life at U of T, and what the job search process is like. The job talks, open to the whole department, are a chance to hear about the candidates’ research. We’ve also been asked by the search committee chairs for our feedback on the candidates. So after meeting them, if you have thoughts, concerns, or endorsements, please email those to the respective chairs.
