I am looking for a graduate program (in Canada, the US, or the UK) that will give me the resources, funding, and flexibility I need to study cosplay. I have an MA in English, and am looking for a PhD program. I'm particularly interested in cosplay as a rhetorical fan practice, in relation to gender, in science fiction/fantasy fandoms. Right now I mostly focus on Doctor Who cosplay, but I'd like to branch out. Should I focus on programs that specialize in fan studies, look for a rhet/comp program, a gender studies program, a sociology program, or find a place with lots of SF/F scholars? I'm having a hard time finding a place where I'd be a good fit, and there seem to be very few options for someone who wants to study fan practices instead of reception. Any suggestions on programs or the type of program I should look for?
