Is there a way for those of us who are only marginally looking for jobs to get a copy of the JFP? Word on the street is that you might know someone who provides such a service...
A small upside: those departments [like mine] who are not being allowed to run TT searches are probably able to offer 1-2 year contracts - either to people we hired last year or to people we hope to find this year.
This is not great, let's be clear. But it does signify that colleges and universities are playing a waiting game rather than simply cutting off philosophy departments, as is happening to may history programs.
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

I was expecting more like 10-15, and thought I was being optimistic. I'd be happy to see 20.
17.5

Couldn't you borrow a copy from a pal/professor?
If not, then by all means go the blackmarket route.

20 is way too high. 5 max.
JFP 184 is up.
