Thank you! These are very helpful. ?

Hello everyone! I hope you are well. I am a graduate of Yale, M.A. in African Studies, about eight years ago. I've done a lot of things since then, and I've now received a Fulbright US Scholar fellowship to go teach and do research at the University of Zimbabwe. My research has to do with mythology, ecology and sacred spaces, and the more I do research on the subjects, the more they take me in the direction of what I understand is called 'archeoastronomy.' I would like to apply my fulbright research towards a European style PhD (with a thesis advisor), and I'm wondering where I could do such a thing in archeoastronomy. Anybody know anything about it? I would appreciate any leads! Thank you! Klara

But what if I am told specifically that the topic must be Africa, and the department is Anthropology, which is a field where observations have a lot of weight ...?

Hello! Thank you! I just noticed that somebody responded to my post. :-) I will send you my statements in the next few days. Cheers! Klara

Hello Everyone! I am applying to a number of African Studies programs for next year, and I was wondering if anybody would be willing to read a few of my S.O.Ps? They are not very long, but they have to be very carefully tailored, as sometimes I have to apply through different departments - for example, at the University of Florida, I have to apply through the political science department. I would be very much obliged for any help I can get. :-) Cheers! Klara

Hello Everyone! I am applying to a lot of African studies programs, and for the program at UT Austin (masters, anthropology), for my writing sample I am submitting excerpts from notes, observations and essays I wrote during m y travel in Southern Africa. I don't have any relevant academic essays, and the professors informed me that it is pretty important that my sample be 'on topic.' That being said, I am stressing out whether what I wrote will be appropriate, (or if it is even interesting) and so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to read my writing sample? The application is due on December 1st, so I am beginning to sweat. Thank you very much for your time and attention! Klara
