Thanks.
That sounds very interesting, most of my studying of Palestine has been post-1948. I'm doing U.S. foreign relations, with the focus on Cuba/USSR and liberation movements. I am also awaiting answers from other programs before making the call, I feel like most will be rejections. However, I welcome a surprise.
Oh okay, cool, thank you and congratulations! I don't have high hopes for acceptance, but maybe it works out. I enjoy a little modern Middle East history myself, but not as my area. What are you looking to research in particular?
