Cover of Emergent Genders: Living Otherwise in Tokyo's Pink Economies by Michelle H. S. Ho. The cover has a neon-lit urban street at night. People are walking down a street lined with bright signs for various businesses, and the overall atmosphere is bustling and vibrant. The author's name is in white at the top. The title is centered in large, white text, and the subtitle appears in smaller text below.

The 4 finalists for the ASSISTANT prof job in European history at Princeton earned their PhDs in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020. All 4 are already assistant profs elsewhere (though 1 term-limited). What used to be starter jobs now require the credentials formerly required for tenure.
