Is the Grinnell search for a symbolic interactionist/microsociologist the same search they had last year? Was last year's search a failure? They had two lines last year and hired for both: Casey Oberlin (an ABD from Indiana) and Patrick Inglis (a CUNY PhD who was, at the time, a VAP at Grinnell). |
