Anybody know anyone who controls an endowed guest professorship or annual lecture (series)? One that could be manned with a fun and lively Swedish archaeologist? Please put my name forward! I know French and German.

I'm involved now and then in hiring our department's sessional instructors (adjuncts, in the southern North American dialect). While there are always a few applicants who really have no business even thinking they could teach the course (often the same who argue they are "uniquely qualified"), a good chunk have CVs that are as impressive or more than many tenure-track colleagues. This isn't surprising (we all know the score), just always more than a little discouraging.
