Hi, name's Tim.
I received my M.A. in history this May from the same university in which I attended undergrad. Currently, I'm adjuncting at the same school. Originally, I was planning to apply for PhD programs next year, but on a whim I emailed, and then received, a very kind and helpful email from a professor at a school I'm interested in--so I think I'm going to apply this year, at least to that University and see what happens, maybe.
I study the Middle Ages, particularly medieval England. My interests is mainly the relationship between church and state, and the things they entail, so kingship, monasticism, governance broadly. But I'm also interest in how history is recorded, so early historians, clerics, and the nobility, too.
It would be neat to get in somewhere this year, but I certainly understand that's a long shot!
