Hey! I'll be entering the History Ph.D. program!

Hey Y'all! I removed my name out of the applicant pool at U-Penn's Africana Studies Program this morning (had an interview with them earlier this week) and pulled my name off of the waitlist at U-Michigan's American Culture Program. However, I ended the selection process early and accepted an offer from the University of Delaware's Interdisciplinary History Program (5 Years of year round funding). Wishing everyone luck and strength over the next few months!

I also received my rejection from Brown this afternoon.

Just to add to the conversation, I've heard scholars mention both sides of the stories. I've also noticed that associate/assistant professors may leave the school where they are comfortable/received tenure and gravitate towards programs who are letting them do more than the traditional body of scholarship. Projects in the digital humanities, filmmaking, music, etc... seem like they're slowly, but surely receiving more acknowledgement to advancing interdisciplinary scholarship. Many of the topics are focused on bettering the life of POC, but never reach POC because the limitations of scholarly publishing. With that said, I also believe that these programs go in cycles of funding. I had a friend who got accepted to Northwestern AFAM studies program a few years ago and they were the only one in their cohort.

Hey Y'all, A little late to the website this season, but I just wanted to say introduce myself. I work on 20th century African American civil rights history with additional projects in the digital humanities and arts. I applied to University of Pennsylvania - Africana ( upcoming Interview), Cornell - Africana, Northwestern - African American Studies, University of Michigan - American Culture (waitlisted), Brown University - American Studies, Rutgers University - American Studies, USC - American Studies and the University of Delaware - History (accepted)

I just want to say congratulations to everyone for applying, y'all seem so bright and dedicated. I would be elated if I get into the same cohort as any of you!

Congratulations, I was also selected as an "alternate" at U-Michigan! I feel like people who applied at Michigan are also applying to NYU, Yale and Harvard. It will be interesting to see how the selection process moves forward.
