Point out symmetries between what you do and what other profs are doing. Also, this is my first time commenting on BS and what is up with the character limit?!?! Sheesh… Good luck!

People always love to hear about innovative/creative assignments, and will almost certainly ask about how you are dealing with AI. I co-write the course policy with students and faculty always love that when I tell them that, so feel free to use that, if that’s not already what you do.

But yes, sample syllabi and assignments. (Mock up a syllabi or two for courses they will want you to cover but for which you do not currently have a syllabus).

As much as I loathe AI, it is helpful for these situations. ALSO, I would say that there is nothing wrong with reaching out to the hiring ctte and asking what they are most interested in learning about you and what you have to offer.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.
