  1. If this helps those waiting from UNM, I contacted the DGS and was told that they only could accept two PhD applicants. It would seem that Continental philosophy had an extremely competitive year, not the least because of the quality of applicants.
  2. Thanks for this. Any word on whether UNM is sending out both rejections and acceptances, or just one of the two?
  3. Hi Nietzxche,

     

    I thought I'd reach out to you (even though you've not been active for a while on here) to seek some advice regarding DePaul's philosophy department, which you seem to be quite familiar with. I'm applying there this PhD application round and was wondering what you thought of my fit with the program based on my interests alone.

    These are my interests are as follows: Foucault, Deleuze, post-structuralism, critical theory, Nietzsche, Marxism, and some Derrida. The main issues I want to apply these thinkers to is the historical preconditions of capitalism (esp. Christianity and chattel slavery), thus critical race theory and some political theology get mixed in.

    Thompson and Naas are two individuals I'm most interested in working with. Martin's work is interesting. Should I be interested in others? 

     

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best,

    T

  4. I will be commenting for the first time on a paper at a conference. Any suggestions about preparation or format for commenting? Thanks!
  5. Thank you for the feedback. I will look into these programs.
  6. At the moment, UCSC (History of Consciousness), Oregon, Duquesne, Villanova, Boston College, The New School, looking for other continental philosophy programs. Thanks for the feedback
