Alas it has been awhile since I posted--sorry to my loyal following, all three of you. I am posting my cv because I will be job hunting soon. I have been busy working on my dissertation and nothing else. For all of you that might possibly be interested, I will post it when it is finished. When will that be? I don't know--quit pressuring me people!
