Hard Choices

I received the CVs of my Ukrainian candidates and I don’t know what to do. They are all amazing. One’s from Bakhmut. Another from Gorlovka (my mother’s native region.) One is from Irpin. One is from Mariupol and is studying at my former university. Three have a PhD in literature. All are multilingual, with very interesting languages.

I won’t be able to choose.

    You really must persuade the administtation that the foreign languages Department needs at least two this year, and that the othe two must be taken on on compassiinate grounds. I know you can do it!
