Blowing the interview
The ever scrumptious Chai-Rista has some funny tales of interviews gone wrong in academia.
Hey Liz: were you there for the job talk when we hired our honors fellow whose anthropological research was of American strippers? I've often wondered how that went---did she bring her own brass pole, or was there one already in the Honors Center?
And I'm not even going there about our adjunct whose speciality is S&M....

Sorry - I wasn't in on that one, so I can't answer the burning "pole question." I know of a sociologist whose specialty is the Grateful Dead, though. Disseration title was, I believe, "Hegemony of the Diaspora and Transgressions of the Disaffected: I Neeeeeeed a Miracle!"
