The Job Call is officially up! We're seeking an assistant professor of Humanities or Digital Humanities whose work is in critical Science & Technology Studies at the intersection of the humanities, broadly construed (e.g., philosophy, literature, history, religious studies, American studies, Asian studies, ethnic studies, the creative arts, etc.). Social scientists also welcome. Individual backgrounds can vary greatly and still meet our ask, as long as they're anchored in STS. Successful candidate will teach STS in our Digital Humanities Program as well as other courses across our programs. We're part of the CSU, so teaching focused, but probationary faculty have a reduced 3/3 load that is renewable after tenure. Also: we do NOT have an internal candidate.

Email my campus email with questions/inquiries. I'll forward to the search committee as needed. todd.ormsbee@sjsu.edu

Please boost and share with any colleagues or recent PhD grads (or ABDs who will be done by August 2027).

(we did not, actually, attend the kick-off. they also scheduled it at an hour which absolutely does not work for the west coast, which should have been table stakes. last night we contemplated whether we wanted to be there for it anyway, but on reflection we decided they were telling us who they are and we should believe them.)

Was building a project that required `pkg-config` yesterday and it couldn't find libraries that were definitely installed on the system. After some digging, it turned out it was because Homebrew had installed its own version of pkg-config, which by default only searches paths installed by Homebrew.

That feels... pretty broken. :(

The solution? Uninstall pkg-config from Homebrew.

Mostly astronomy and astrophysics talk, but very well done and enjoyable!

Keep Calm and Jod On.
