- At least three mid-table MA programs. (My MA was in Medieval History, so I'm resigned to the possibility of having to do a second one.)
I'm interested in contemporary medievalisms, especially in popular culture and fantastic literature, but hardly anyone at brand-name schools does that sort of thing (no points for guessing why). Maybe I'll just con my way into a respectable program and then yell, "Surprise! Half my MA thesis was about Game of Thrones!" (The history faculty at U. of York were not at all happy with me.)
