AModernAncient

Hey guys, I'm waiting on University of Toronto, my absolute 1st choice (I'm a Canadian who lives in the area and would kill to work with Carl Knappett). Any chance anyone has heard something from them? It's been all quiet on the results page about the AH department but I've seen lots of other Humanities departments posted so I'm getting antsy.

Hello American Scholars I just wanted to say I'm in the same boat with having a weird, varied research field. So I'm applying to an Art History program and a History program that has strong ties to 'material culture' (read art + some other things). I spoke with a few professors about my interests and it seems like having a co-supervisor-ship is the way to go. Basically you have one person for one side of things (ancient art for me) and then another either from your department or another to cover the other aspect (the modern art part for me). It does make it difficult to sell yourself sometimes though, I feel like a lot of supervisors really just want someone who's working in something closely related to what they do. I guess it makes their job easier, but it would make our research more boring. .....trying not to hold my breath until Feb-March....
