Hi everybody, I just read the 4 pages. This is an incredibly helpful resource as it's my first time applying for PhD programs. I could not thank enough those who post regularly around here. I am applying to a few history programs that has a public health, medicine, and environment focus. Additionally, I am applying some historical anthropology, historical sociology, and other interdisciplinary science studies programs that focuses on public health, medicine, and environment. I approach these topics from a political economy (and political ecology, when appropriate) perspective. My master's thesis was on the history and political economy of the current opioids epidemic. I would ideally prefer to continue this work on substance use, although I am willing to expand my horizons. For specific History PhD programs, I am currently eyeing Columbia History and Public Health dual program, Uni of Chicago Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science, UPenn History and Sociology of Science, and U Michigan Anthropology and History dual program. Does anybody has any other recommendations? I would deeply appreciate them. Thanks! And good luck with the applications!

Does anybody know a source that ranks the geography programs in the US?

I wasn't really sure about it. I just knew I wanted to do some research focuses worked. Turns out my main interests are occupational health, environmental health, and substance use/mental health. I am currently looking for research jobs in those positions. I am also going to apply to PhD programs now with those interests in mind.

Thanks! Which depts/schools are you looking at and what are your interests?

I just graduated from the Sociomedical Sciences dept at Columbia. I was thinking between Epidemiology, Environmental Heath, and Sociomedical Sciences (SMS) depts for the MPH or PhD in a social sciences like Sociology of Health or Medical Anthropology. I wasn't set on my decision of SMS, but after my first semester I knew that was the department for me. At Columbia we all take the same classes in the first semester, the Columbia MPH Core. You can then change into other depts after that if you wish. It fortunately worked out well for me.

I am currently completing my MPH. Most people here do not know what they specifically want to focus on when they first start. Many places you can even change your department after first semester. It's a very flexible degree.

I am really interested in STS too. I am also looking for History and Sociology programs. My main interest is in the political economy and historical sociology of population health and medicine. I mainly approach this topic using a Marxist framework. Could anybody please recommend some program for this?
