Expert opinions on the best states for associate professors of english
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Associate professors of english to find work opportunities?
Dr. Christina Fisanick
Associate Professor of English, California University of Pennsylvania
Although employers prior to COVID-19 knew that remote work was not only possible, but in some cases even more productive than in the traditional workplace, the pandemic has reinforced the idea that employees can work from anywhere in the world. While this gives graduates the potential to work globally in a way that was never possible before, it also means that English majors in the US are now competing in a worldwide marketplace against graduates from universities not just in their region or country, but from around the globe. It is both exciting and intimidating, and we must prepare our graduates to meet the demands of this ever-expanding job market.
