  1. two shots overgeneralizes ( right after criticizing for the same)and speaks from a position of authority without experience in the field. the stage makes an impassioned plea which equally overgeneralizes and metaphysicalizes (read: abstracts) though not without expressing some genuine good points. queen bee makes an assertion of disillusionment with a hope towards a show of empathy from the very persons (in part...humanities grads) she somewhat maligns. absurdity abounds though sanity still runs through it.
  2. Vanilatea, I'm in almost an identical boat; I'm applying to Comm. Studies, Media Studies, American Studies, and Cultural Studies programs because all of these would give me the ability to research what I'm interested in, albeit from nuanced perspectives that differ. My school list is UNC-CH, CU-Boulder, UT-Austin, Carnegie-Mellon, UF-Gainsville, Northwestern, UM-Ann Arbor, Bowling Green, SUNY Stony Brook, Rutgers, George Mason, and George Washington. I currently hold both a BA and MA in English Literature but have always focused on critical theory and alternative media forms (e.g. I took many courses on film in both undergrad. and graduate school, and wrote my thesis on Samuel Beckett's less discussed Radio Dramas). Don't be afraid to check out mass communications and journalism departments, they may have PhD offerings that would align with your research interests. Cheers, agj Edit: I also hear UMN, Iowa, and several schools in the U.Cal. system have good programs although the research emphases were not a good fit for me. furthermore, I'd be really interested to hear whether you're doing this to become a professor or you have other goals. I'm personally of the rare breed not counting on a tenure-track position post-doc. Sure, I would love to continue with academia and inspire future students, but I also see that there are many gaps to fill and important influence to exert in non-academic realms.
  3. I am applying to this program but don't know anything beyond what you can find via their website and rudimentary searches. I'm scheduling a visit with some meetings in a month or so, if you would still be considering applying by that point (i dont know if that would be too close to deadline time for your comfort), I'd be happy to send you a message with more info. best agj
