Hi everyone,
I am in the midst of putting together my PhD applications for Fall 2015, and have faced a few programs where I am not totally sure what to apply to, and nowhere is this divide more confounding than Duke. Their English PhD description seems to suit me, but the professors I am interested in (specifically N. Katherine Hayles, Frederic Jameson, and Mark BN Hansen) are listed as profs in the Literature PhD program (only Hayles is listed in both). Anyone have a sense of the programs, or recommendations for how to choose?
(a little more about me and what Im looking for)
I am a fairly recent convert to English scholarship, having studied theatre in undergrad and acting/teaching for most of my professional life. I just finished an MA at DePaul in Chicago, where my focus was Contemporary Lit. and Digital Humanities. My thesis was on David Mitchell and social networks, with a dash of appropriation and posthumanism thrown in.
thanks!
