Hello! I am eagerly waiting for news as it appears some programs I’ve applied to have released acceptances by feb 1st in past years! I applied to: University of Minnesota, university of Washington, university of Southern California, University of Texas - Austin, University of Wisconsin - Madison, Syracuse University, University of Nebraska -Lincoln, University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, and Louisiana State University. I was going to apply to Brown and Northwestern but thought I wouldn’t stand a chance… I kind of regret this now.
My research areas (for now) are how both discourses of resistance and rhetorics of neoliberalism create collective affect through entertainment media such as film, TV, and social media and how narratives about culture and history are created and sustained on screen. I value intersectional feminist and critical cultural theoretical lenses when it comes to interpreting such things.
I have received one acceptance so far from UNC chapel hill! Really suprised tbh. Looking forward to soon to come updates. Good luck everyone!
