Over the past two weeks, we--Mitra Sharafi (University of Wisconsin Law) & Ronit Stahl (Berkeley History)--have shared results from our 2021 online poll and survey on the academic Letter of Recommendation (LOR) system. Most scholars who responded were in law and/or history at US universities.
Here are the posts, all in one place:
- Part 1: Scholars speak up
- Part 2: How the system has changed
- Part 3: Unmanageable?
- Part 4: What to do?
- Part 5: Possible fixes
We hope this series will help our fields restructure their application processes.
