I am going to be applying to PhD programs this fall with the intent to begin working on my PhD in fall 2015. My interests include Modern World Literature, Feminist Theory, Ethnic American Literature, Postcolonial Studies, Literature and Law, Gender Studies, and Disability Studies. I have a BA in English, a JD, and a Graduate Diploma in Civil Law, and will have a MA in English prior to beginning a PhD program. I would really appreciate some PhD program suggestions in light of my interests. I am definitely interested in moving far, far away from where I am. The location of the school matters a great deal to me, but so does fit. I am thinking east coast or west coast. I'm not so much interested in the mid-west apart from Chicago. I want to apply to at least a few top-tier schools but want to balance that with applications to mid-tier and safety schools. What do you think?
