Is anybody applying for a PhD in American Studies this cycle?

[MiracleDragonfly49]

if so, are there any specific tracks that interest you? (Women and Gender studies, African Studies, Latam studies, etc)

Hi All,

In case you were still considering other applications, the American Studies PhD program at Rutgers-Newark recently opened admissions for full-time, funded doctoral students. To learn more about the program and applying, check out their website - https://sasn.rutgers.edu/admissions-amstud

I’m particularly interested in Women and Gender Studies, especially topics around gender, identity, and social policy. African Studies and Latin American Studies also seem really interesting, depending on the specific research focus and faculty.
