ptry7 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hey guys/gals, I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with programs that would be a good fit for someone wanting to study post-1945 lit, specifically native american lit and mccarthy. _Any_ and all information would be really helpful! Thanks a bunch in advance Cornell and ASU are on my list so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datatape Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Texas Tech has a McCarthy specialist in Sara Spurgeon. UNM and Arizona are particularly strong in Native American lit. That's about the extent of my knowledge on those areas, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laokoon Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Ut-Knoxville has a few people who may be of interest: Bill Hardwig (srsly one of the coolest people), Amy Elias, Julie Reed (History). ETA: looks like Chapel Hill has a solid program as well: http://americanindianstudies.unc.edu/ Edited June 14, 2013 by Laokoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wreckofthehope Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Austin and WashU are very strong for C20th but I'm not sure about Native American Lit...I think Austin is well known for 'ethnic lit', though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattigan Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Have you looked at U of British Columbia at all? They have a really strong field of Canadian Indigenous Lit folks, but I'm sure there's a lot of crossover with US Native Lit. isabelarcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestions--I looked into them and the only downside seemed to be the bolded NO INTERFOLIO at UT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatjewishgirl Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 you might look into Oklahoma State Univ. and University of Oklahoma for Native American lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptry7 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 you might look into Oklahoma State Univ. and University of Oklahoma for Native American lit. Hmm I'm not sure if they're strong in NA lit and 20th cent lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfLorax Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I met someone on this forum who will be attending UMass Amherst in the fall; his main interest was Native American lit, and his POI was Ronald Welburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatjewishgirl Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 LOL. I like how you completely dismissed my suggestions about English programs I have degrees from. Two Espressos and socatoa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptry7 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 LOL. I like how you completely dismissed my suggestions about English programs I have degrees from. I'm certainly not in a position to dismiss any programs. I was simply unable to find any further information--after a quick search--regarding either school's affinity for 20th cent lit. You suggested looking into them because of their Native lit focus. I did. They seem to have a really good program for focus on Native ethnography, language, history, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdon19 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I would definitely put in a word for Chapel Hill (though I'm super biased ). But we have some really strong faculty in the English dept in post-45 lit, one of whom regularly teaches courses in critical race theory that might be of interest to you.
