wtncffts Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 What subject within the humanities, and what concentration within the subject??? Yes, you really need to provide more information if you want any useful advice. Also, it depends on what each is offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plop23 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm looking to study the colombian and mexican literature and documentary film in the first ten years of the XXI century. Well both offer fellowship during the first year and the dissertation year. Similar stipend but michigan gives two research summer grants. Thanks for th help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diber Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 well, if it's by location, I would choose Pittsburgh. Great town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly28 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 well, if it's by location, I would choose Pittsburgh. Great town. Being from Pittsburgh, I concur. Pitt has a very strong Latin American studies faculty. I know someone who's getting a phd in Latin American literature, though he's concentrating on political literature and music from earlier in the 20th century. I can't speak for Michigan but I can say that Pitt is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philosophy chic Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm asking myself the same question, just about their philosophy programs instead of their respective strengths in Colombian and Mexican literature and film. You may have already done these, but some things I found useful were: asking the professors at my undergraduate institution their opinions (or asking them to ask other professors in the field their opinions) reading some of the works written by faculty at each institution contacting the professors about their research interests looking at job placements (it may be especially helpful to see what and where a recent graduate with similar interests is doing) good luck!
