Hello everyone! I’m a rising senior at a top US public school. I’m interested in Early Modern (and maybe late medieval) Poland-Lithuania, and military history. Jewish history is also an ancillary interest for me. Unfortunately those areas are not too popular right now, though I do have a professor here who studies Poland-Lithuania. I’m thinking of applying to a couple master’s programs in the UK for Fall 2019, or else maybe taking a year or two off and then applying for PhD programs in the US or Canada, though I am worried about losing languages in the meantime. Schools I’m considering are
UK
Aberdeen (Frost, Friedrich)
Oxford (Nowakowska, Parrott, Wilson)
Canada
Dalhousie (Hanlon, maybe Pekacz)
McGill (Hundert)
US
NYU (Wolff)
UNC (Lee)
Minnesota (Louthan, maybe Bachrach)
Brown (Teller)
Fordham (Teter)
Ohio State (Parker [though he’ll probably retire soon], Helferrich)
