Anyone planning to apply for Middle East history?

Hi, as it is clear in the title of the topic, I was wondering if there are some others who apply for Middle East history. Last year, when I was checking here regularly, I do remember several of them who applied and got accepted. But this year I doubt there is someone other than me.

If you hear me, what stage are you in now? What are you interested in? Time period, region?

I'd like to share anything special to our field.

I'm doing US-Middle East, if that helps.

I'm applying to PhD programs in Middle Eastern History. I'm also applying to one history program with a thematic major field and one Middle Eastern Studies program. I'm interested in the social and cultural history of modern Egypt, comparative gender, comparative colonialisms, identity, Arab women's movements, and the history and historiography of sexuality and violence.

You?

Sort of. I'm still undecided whether to approach from a history/humanities or social science angle, so just applying for masters.
