  1. 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!
  2. Mark MacGurl is at Stanford and Dimock is at Yale, to reply to the earlier post, and they are pretty much the gold standard. Check out Kathleen Fitzpatrick, visiting at NYU as well. And while I wouldn't say this is my main focus, Posthumanism played a part in my Master's Thesis and those profs (and Hayles) are high on my wish list to work with as well.
