happy little pill

I think everyone's notified at the same time - it's not like CGS-M where it's tied to a school, our results are all mailed out.

I have a Macbook. I used to carry around a pro, but at the end of last year, I got an Air and I'm very happy with it. If you're in a PDF-downloading/image heavy area like art history, I recommend going for the one with a bit more storage space, or you need to be better than I am about moving things onto an external drive.

My friend did her BFA in Art History and then did her JD with an emphasis in IP and copyright law and now works for a firm that deals with artists' rights.

mission statement

Yeah, I can imagine that a further extension would be problematic. Congrats on your awards. At least for SSHRC you have some time before you have to officially decide. It's unfortunate that European schools don't seem to care about anyone else's deadlines, especially because these schools accept international students pretty readily.

Ugh, that's really annoying. Awards has been awful this year because Dolly is on mat. leave and she is the person who singlehandedly kept that ship afloat.

Although it's not a top-tier university, the University of Delaware has some excellent faculty in Material Culture in their Art History department and are connected closely to the Winterthur Museum. Design theory programs are something that you kind of need to research on your own because they cater to different areas - some are strong in deco arts, others in textiles, product/furniture design, urban shaping of the city, etc. For example, UMinn is interesting to me because I'm interested in fashion studies and they have several core faculty members working both in the theory and production of my specific area/period of interest, but if you aren't looking at clothing/textiles/housing, it wouldn't be the right fit for you.

Did you try e-mailing Margaret in SGS' awards office? She should have more information about where you sit on the waitlist.

From the Doctoral FAQ page: 8. Are there opportunities for doctoral students to teach, and are all doctoral students required to do so? Yes, there are opportunities for doctoral students to teach at the BGC both as teaching assistants and as competitively-selected doctoral teaching fellows who offer their own graduate seminar. There are further undergraduate teaching possibilities at Bard College. Doctoral students are not required to teach, nor can it be guaranteed, but it is strongly encouraged as part of professional training. So you can, indeed, teach at Bard. I have to say, Bard is doing some really innovative things with material culture. I am the head of a research group at my school and we brought in one of their professors to do a two-day workshop with us and it was one of the most enlightening and informative two days of my entire academic career. They have a lot of resources for students and if you're interested in curatorial practice, Bard has really done some stand-out exhibitions in their curriculum-linked gallery space. Who are the scholars that you've been using in your last two degrees? I know it seems obvious, but I'd start by looking at their work and seeing where they're situated, who they have co-authored papers with, etc. History & theory of design programs may offer you more in terms of material culture studies than Art History.

I think it's more a case of McGill being universally slow across the board due to having a lot of applications and some of their admissions committee procedures seem a little wonky, to be honest. I had a friend who didn't find out til May that she was accepted to McGill last year, and by that time she'd already presumed a rejection from them, had accepted another offer, and had already moved to her new city. I don't think that you can receive SSHRC without having done a formal application because you have to be vetted by the committee through competition. Even at schools where your department has magical veto power to send your application directly for A-list consideration, you have to actually submit an application. Maybe they're assuming that you submitted with their school? I also know from the awards woman at my current institution that schools had to have their list of SSHRC forwards to Ottawa by January 6th. Maybe they meant that they'd recommend you for OGS and SSHRC if you applied in the future? This was what I was told when I met with the GPD and my supervisor at my current institution, that if I didn't get SSHRC this year, I would be sent by the department to SGS as one of the candidates to be automatically considered for SSHRC A-list. OGS might be different. I didn't apply for that this year because I ran out of time.

love doctor

I laughed, but ouch.

My ex was a graduate of this program. As a non New-Yorker, he found it hard to make inroads into the design community at first. He said that you have to actively seek out mentors/build relationships with your professors, but he did really enjoy his experience and he works as an assistant curator at a small craft museum now.

I actually did let McGill know that I had accepted another offer almost a month ago (along with the other school that accepted me outright) but they just never changed my status from waitlisted to rejected until the 1st. I didn't know where I was on the waitlist just that I was on it so I'm assuming that my status didn't change until the first because it didn't matter - they knew I wasn't going there so updating my status on the portal probably wasn't their top priority. Good luck to all of you who are still waiting on schools! I hope you all get positive responses and they arrive as soon as possible.

Yeah it's really common for projects to change. My professor applied to her MA SSHRC with a project on the Group of Seven and then she ended up writing about lesbian artists in Canada - literally no one cares.

I don't even know how to advise in this situation, but I just wanted to pop in and say that I am incredibly sorry that you are going through this. Also, a big middle finger to this woman for thinking that she can somehow control your decisions about your family and for suggesting that you have mental health issues when it sounds like she hasn't really made much of an effort to get to know you as a person/know about your life except where it suits her. It sounds like any mental health issues that might crop up in your life would be in large part due to her anyways. What you suggested in your last paragraph though definitely sounds like the most strategic approach that would probably ruffle her feathers the least. The tenure question is not something to be taken lightly, though - is there some way that you could work with your Chair on a project since they are roughly in the same area, as you've said, and consider making the switch after that point and claim that it's on methodological grounds rather than on time periods?

I know that this thread has been dormant for a few weeks, but I just wanted to jump in and say think that the poster above is right. My area of studies (Fashion Studies) is extremely limited as it's an emerging field and I can probably list all the relevant key scholars on one hand and they're all located in the UK except for one professor who is in Canada. So for me, even though I'd eventually like to work in the US in a Museum Studies/Art History/Cultural Studies department, it doesn't make sense to do my PhD in a US institution because I'd be reaching out to people in the UK all the time anyways. Because most of the young scholars are also studying in UK institutions as well, the journals in my field tend to go with the flow of those programs and you don't have to wait as far into your degree to start publishing articles with them as you might in a more established, competitive discipline. So it really all depends. I would say go for what feels right for your work. If you're at the wrong institution, you're going to have one hell of a time for the entire five years that you're there.

The above poster has made some really good points. As someone whose professor isn't emeritus but she just isn't around (to her credit it's not like she's doing nothing with her time, she's already a leading scholar in her field despite being green to the field and so she's got about 15 projects on the go at any one time) and it's been incredibly hard. I am an independent worker; I don't really need much more than my books and my blanket fort in my living room, but I'm also a student and a human and sometimes I just need to verify my ideas with the person that is supposed to be my academic guidance throughout my thesis writing process. I would personally never do a dissertation under someone that I knew I was guaranteed not to see - I would maybe ask if you can speak to some students of this professor to see if they really are available by Skype. I think in that instance, you're okay, because you can still contact them in a hurry if need be, but if they seem checked out, then I'd never be able to accept that offer, knowing what my past year has been like.

Do you have a time-specific fellowship/award? At York, I was on a deadline to accept by a specific date because the department needed enough time to forward off my candidacy for an award - if you haven't been offered anything more than the standard funding package, I don't see why the institutions that you're considering would need a decision because of funding before a specific date. If you do have a time-specific award, there's nothing that can be done, usually, but otherwise, I'd e-mail them and ask them for an extension, this usually isn't a problem.

I'm done. I heard back today from the school that I was waitlisted at that I was now rejected. It's weird, even though I had already accepted another offer and so everything was all set and done, it's still such a bitter pill to swallow.

I don't personally know of any, but I am sure that they probably exist - they wouldn't let undergrads apply if they didn't have a shot at making it. But it's not very common in the program that I did my undergrad in for people to apply to American schools, not without doing an MA first at least. My friend applied last year through our university for SSHRC doctoral though, but she either wasn't forwarded/didn't get one in the end as she applied again this year.

I feel so strangely proud for all the people that I know who received an MA SSHRC like I'm passing off the baton to a well-deserving crowd! If only doctoral results were announced the same way so that it wouldn't be so awful for everyone lol
