schlechtdurchdacht

Hello! I'm about to start at University of Chicago's MAPSS, where I'll be focusing on history. My interest is mainly in 20th-century intellectual history of French and German social thought (Heidegger, Foucault, Lyotard, etc.). I'm interested in getting a second one-year master's, in philosophy, ideally in Europe (including the UK); I'm hoping to earn a PhD in history afterwards. So far, I'm most interested in these four programs: Erasmus University Rotterdam, MA in Philosophy (Continental Philosophy and its History) Kingston University, MA in Philosophy and Contemporary Critical Theory OR MA in Modern European Philosophy University of Warwick, MA in Continental Philosophy University of Essex, MA in Philosophy (Continental Philosophy OR Critical Social Theory Pathway) Does anyone have good or bad experience with these schools? Are there other schools you would recommend? I can take classes in English or French, but my French probably isn't strong enough for writing. As far as funding: I'm looking at Fulbright, as well as university-specific scholarships and tuition waivers. Are there other funding sources I should look into? Thanks so much!!

Hello! I'm hoping for recommendations for one-year interdisciplinary master's programs (or programs in conventional disciplines that are open to interdisciplinary work). I'm looking for programs that focus on continental philosophy, intellectual history, critical theory, poststructuralism, etc. – I'm especially interested in Foucault, Wittgenstein/Lyotard, and spatial theory. Thoughts? Thank you!

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone has advice about whether it's a good idea to follow up with professors of interest after a rejection. Is it weird to just leave those email conversations hanging? Is it awkward to email just to acknowledge the rejection (which presumably they already know about or don't care about) and thank them again? Does the best approach change if I may plan to apply to the same program again? Thanks!

Just wondering

I also got waitlisted at UCLA on March 17th. If anyone who's admitted is planning on declining, I'd love to know!!

Any CUNY sociocultural admits planning on declining? I'm on the waitlist and curious if I have a chance...
