Harvard and Chicago are living proof of what happens when mentorship ends. Their models are clearly hurting their students and they aren't placing nor graduating. It's a disgrace for such resource-rich departments.
Harvard had a market star (Chris Muller) two years ago.
And then they placed no one last year out of over two dozen ABD's...
Look, I'm not a huge fan of Harvard's program. But judging a program by the number of ABDs it placed last year, which was a disaster for ABDs, is not quite fair. Berkeley didn't place any ABDs either. Michigan placed one.

Michigan placed half a dozen ABD's, if not more, last season..

According to their website, Michigan placed 7 ABDs. Duke also placed 6. Those were really good years for both schools (about double what they usually place in TT jobs).

So, some schools did better than normal and others did worse...normal small sample stuff...

Curious to see how the two are going to do this cycle.

Peter Rich from NYU just had an ASR come out. He also has a PNAS. Looks like a strong candidate this cycle.
So, that means NYU has two ABD's with ASR's, and a PNAS and a Theory and Society, respectively. That's really strong for such a small department. Do other departments have more than one person with ASR or AJS this cycle?
NYU is not a small department, at least as private universities go.
It's a department below the mean even when privates are factored in. It's smaller than Princeton, Harvard, Chicago, and Northwestern. Slightly bigger than Stanford and Columbia. And only Duke, Penn, Brown, and Yale are considerably smaller in the top 20/25 privates.
1. Michigan: 33 (96 grad students/5 =19)
2. Wisconsin: 21 (154/5 = 30)
3. Duke: 19 (48/5 = 10)
4. Princeton: 18 (79/5 = 16)
5. Arizona: 14 (59/5 = 12)
Berkeley: 14 (140/5 = 28)
7. UCLA: 11 (132/5 = 26)
8. Columbia: 10 (62/5 = 12)
NYU: 10 (70/5 = 14)
Texas: 10 (107/5 = 21)
11. Brown: 8 (55/5 = 11)
12. Minnesota: 6 (65/5 = 13)
13. Indiana: 5 (81/5 = 17)
14. North Carolina: 4 (76/5 = 15)
Northwestern: 4 (92/5 = 18)
Penn St.: 4 (72/5 = 14)
17. Ohio St.: 3 (59/5 = 12)
UPenn: 3 (59/5 =12)
Yale: 3 (58/5 = 12)
Chicago: 3 (113/5 = 23)
21. Stanford: 2 (64/5 = 13)
22. Cornell: 0 (46/5 = 9)
23. Harvard: 0 (94/5 = 19)

Wow, I'm surprised by how large Harvard and Chicago are! Makes their latest placement (or lack thereof in Harvard's case) seem even more embarrassing.
Are Harvard and Chicago not graduating anybody? They don't have the faculty to support such an obscene number of aimless grad students.

These are two departments in steep decline, on both the grad student and faculty fronts.

Joshua Bloom has been applying for jobs for a few years. He had an offer from UConn two years ago but did not take it.
Deirdre Bloome is an AP at UMich

Right? Who turns down an offer when on the comp-historical market? Any offer is a success in that area.

Because Josh Bloom is a job market galaxy and knows that he can place much higher if he waits the market out. UCLA knows that too, that is why they will carry him with a post-doc until the market turns. Watch.

Good for Josh/the galaxy. Hopefully things will work out for him this year!

The book is a SJW retread of tired mythology. Folks familiar with that lit should not be impressed.

Guy using the term "SJW" un-ironically doesn't like a book about the black panthers.

What a twist..

I've read the entire BP literature, and I see nothing really new in this book either. And I see a whole lot of recent and significant BP scholarship either ignored or discounted in the book. IOW, I'm not sure why it was written or published, other than that's what people do to get tenure.

PS: What's the non-ironic alternative to SJW? Lay it out there so us non-hipsters know how to rap to you fresh kids these days.

Whoever wrote there is a record low of douchebags here was badly wrong. Thank you, people, for trashing yet another person looking for a job, who is actually a very good and interesting scholar.

Now who's next? Shall we go down the list of people mentioned here previously and kill them, one by the other?
