To all who observed, happy belated Christmas!

Despite the tension, I'm hoping we can all have a wonderful Xmas / NYE and forget for a little bit

Congratulations to the UMD - College Park Women's Studies PhD admittee! ✊🏽

Half-terrified and half-disconnected from reality lol. But hanging in there. Only time will fix this, so might as well have a blissful Xmas/NYE! Good luck to everyone.

I'm just in the thick of the waiting game. It's almost January though

Is anybody out there? Can you hear me?

I cannot wait until this waiting period is over. It feels like a mental splinter that I can't get out fast enough.

My list is wild, I don't even know what I was thinking lol My programs of choice are under one of the following disciplines: English/American Literature, African American Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Cultural Studies.

Right there with you! African American Studies here. I'm hoping we all win

At this point, I have done what I can, I think we all have, and am personally trying to be ok with not being perfect, not just in this context but in general. Best wishes to all of us!

Hi Everyone! I hope you're having a lovely start to the holiday season and that your application processes are going well. I wanted to create a space of connection for folks who are wishing to matriculate in the Fall of 2025 and want to pursue any discipline or method of inquiry that examines the rich historical, social, economic, political, and cultural lives led and contributions made by Africans and African Americans throughout the history of the world and into the contemporary moment and beyond. I wish us all luck! My Af-Am Studies Programs This Cycle: Northwestern Yale Drop a line, say hey, and I hope to hear more about people's thoughts and experiences. Cheers!

BU suspends admissions to humanities, other Ph.D. programs

Needless to say, I'm already losing my absolute mind. It's atrocious how anxiety makes time slow down as opposed to speeding it up lol.

@Kiamia Ditto on Yale Combined WGSS, but I'm doing it with AfAm Studies. Best of luck to us both, as that is for sure a dream program!
