I mostly focus on representations of marginalized identities within Japanese literatures and films through the lens of multiculturalism, postmodernism, postcolonialism and gender and sexuality studies. 

 

I'm assuming that you also hope to work with Naoki Sakai? 

 

Yeah! Good to hear somebody with similar interests might join the same program.

I did! It seems like an awesome program and the offer that I got was jis too amazing to turn down... Are you planning to visit? I'm thinking of going next week.

 

Cool posteggiesm! What kind of Japanese literature are you interested in? I am interested in Japanese and Taiwanese cultural studies, colonial studies, postcolonial theory, etc. 

 

I am not planning to visit because I've been to Cornell before. I can meet people from the program at the AAS conference in SD in a few weeks. But you should definitely visit if you haven't.

Has anyone else gotten into the PhD program in Asian Literature, Religion, and Culture at Cornell? I am seriously considering going there.

Stanford invited finalists to campus last week and I think they have made (at least some of the) final decisions. I think it's very unlikely that you will get in unless you were at least a finalist. Hope this helps.
