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.
This was super helpful! Thank you so much! They even wave the subject GRE for American Studies applicants
-
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.

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...
Thanks for the suggestions--I looked into them and the only downside seemed to be the bolded NO INTERFOLIO at UT

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/
Thanks! I've added Chapel Hill to my list--you're right their program definitely looks solid.

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.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm having trouble finding programs towards the east coast as far as Native lit goes.

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.

Took the GRE 100% cold turkey two years ago, immediately after they switched to the current, revised format. Scores as follows:
V:mid-upper150s Q:low 140s AW:6.0
I'm applying for English Literature and Education. My goals have changed since I took the test cold two years ago, and now I'm prepping to retake.
Things I'm worried about: (1) Getting a worse AW score (2) Knowing which test to send based on results
This is the best education program I'm applying to and their averages (hgse):
Verbal Average: 83.1 (percentile)
Quantitative Average: 66.6 (percentile)
Analytical Writing Average: 4.7
What would you guys suggest I do? Thanks in advance!What do schools think of two scores being sent in--based on you guys's experience? If I didn't retake, would the 99th% AW help overshadow the worst-ever quantitative?

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.
