Hi, all! New member here.
I'm currently in the first year of an interdisciplinary masters program focused on trauma and genocide. I'm building a list of potential doctoral programs to apply to in English (bachelors is in psychology with a minor + significant work in English). My research interests are trauma and memory studies, critical race theory, and children's literature. More specifically, I'm interested in representations of the violent/traumatic past and cultural memory within children's historical fiction. So far, Sara Schwebel at the University of South Carolina is the researcher I've found that most closely aligns with my research interests on the children's lit side, not sure about the theory side. Along with South Carolina, I'm interested in University of Pittsburgh, University of Florida, Ohio State, University of Southern Mississippi, and University of Connecticut.
If anyone knows any programs/scholars strong in these areas, I'd be extremely grateful if you'd pass their names along to me! Thanks so much!
