On the spatiality of the academic job market in critical human geography

Abstract

This essay uses a geographical vocabulary to describe the process of looking for and obtaining academic employment in critical human geography since the onset of the global recession. The first goal of this paper is to document a transformative moment in the history of geography by narrating stories of the job hunt. The second goal of the paper is to map the liminality, precarity, and contradictions of the contemporary job search. The final goal is to reflect on how the academic job search affects our approach to and relationship with the discipline of geography.
