Ted Hopf back on the market for non-tenured 4-4 IR positions.
Is that true? He has a really good publication record. And a hands on teaching style.
With his record now, he will be too toxic for any US campus. He should apply to a good university in East Asia or Russia or the Middle East, where they still allow sexual harassment.
Anyone getting a PhD somewhere lower ranked than #30 is essentially kidding themselves into thinking that they are going to defy odds of about 90-1. Is someone from a low ranked place going to get a job next year? Sure, one person will, maybe two. But that’s about it.
something tells me you're not very familiar with the pedigree of those who get hired at the nation's 3,000+ colleges and universities. Hint: there are many "Georgia State" or "UC Santa Barbara" at places Harvard grads wouldn't consider working.It is making America d@mber every day. Your second rate PhD's don't improve the quality of higher education, they drag it down. Getting a job isn't the same as making an impact. You are creating a new generation of Trump supporters with your t@rrible American Government courses. Shame on you.
sure, move the goalposts all you want. The fact remains that there those low ranked PhDs are everywhere, but you have to be willing to look at places that hire them. But I take it that you agree with the main point because you're not moving the goalposts, which is what people who lose an argument do. Not a big deal.

Not true. It may not be the same placements that those from higher-ranked schools would want, even though many of them will strike out in the process. But, my entire cohort from a low/unranked program is gainfully employed in the academy. Get your head out of the clouds, my friend.Making $44,000 a year as a non-tenure track instructor teaching 4-4 at Kennesaw State University. Living the dream.
Yeah, no one is saying that the jobs they're getting a good jobs, or high paying jobs, or desirable places, etc. But they're getting jobs.

LOL no. He's done. Good riddance, good for Singapore for doing what THE! OSU never had the balls to do.
Hi all,
A student of mine -econ, latin america- is applying to top ten public policy PHd programs in the US. I think he is aiming too high. He has a masters in Economics and a few local publications, but his math is not that good, which disqualifies him for a good PhD in econ.
Looking for advise on a PhD program in public policy that a) is not too hard to get in and b) is not a scam: graduates do publish competitively.
He has a fellowship from an international institution, so funding does not matter.
thanks in advance
Are there any Econ PhD programs for folks who are "bad Math" ???

You do know these are very specialized programs in Econ? Fit is much more important at UMass, Utah, NSSR, UMKC, and American. Doesn’t help if you want to be a mainstream guy in one of these progressive left/radical departments. Doesn’t mean he or she will be able to avoid those core courses with the math prerequisite at one of these places. He’ll tap out before he can get to the dissertation part to finish.
