Newly refurbished for 2020. The old site used a command line and Markdown-based CMS that I had completely forgotten how to use. I’ve replaced it now with a WordPress site that is heavier and slightly more expensive to run, but which I’ll be able to update without re-reading all the manuals. Please have a look around the sections in the top menu, mostly moved over as is from the old site.
More soon
I’m rebuilding my personal website. Come back soon.
In the meantime, look here.
Where do tenured and tenure-track faculty in Canadian Ph.D. programs get their degrees?
I wanted to find out where Canadian and non-Canadian Ph.Ds where getting hired, which departments in Canada produce the largest number of graduates who successfully attain tenured or tenure-track jobs at Canadian social-cultural-linguistic anthropology (SCL) programs, and where non-Canadian graduates and current tenure-track SCL faculty tend to get their Ph.Ds. The result is that compared to Groarke and Fenske’s finding that about 70% of tenured and tenure-track philosophy positions in Canada go to graduates of foreign institutions, the figure in social-cultural and linguistic anthropology (SCL) stands at about 52%. I go over the results in more depth below, and end with a brief speculation about why conditions may be different in SCL.
