Anyone in Brown's Modern Culture & Media PhD Program?

Thoughts on couses, faculty, funding package, other students? It looks like my dream program with several affiliated faculty that list queer theory under their areas of interest/research, but would love to hear a first hand account of the program (and maybe what they're looking for in admissions?) Thanks!

I know nothing about this program, but I'm also very interested in applying. I currently have a MA in English Literature, but am interested in breaking out into other fields.

That being said, I can't find anything either. I thought maybe we could both be disappointed in the lack of information together.

Hah, well thanks for the commiseration post! I can't even find so much as a lowly blog entry with MCM in it. All my internet research comes up with either this post or pages from Brown's website. Oh well. I suppose if you're actually in a grad program you wouldn't be spending much time on this forum talking about it

While I have you here...where are other English Ph.D applicants applying? I have a ,BA in English and an MFA in Poetry. I want to pursue a Ph.D in English with a focus in gender and sexuality/feminist studies. I want a fully funded program, that's culturally diverse, and of course a city/program that's lesbian friendly while I did see the thread about some lesbian friendly cities I still want to talk more. See what you might recommend and hear what you're thinking. My top 5 so far is Vanderbilt University-Ph.D in English, University of Michigan-Ph.D in English and Women's Studies, University of Wisconsin at Madison-Ph.D in English Literary Studies, University of Minnesota-Ph.D in English, and UC Santa Barbara-Ph.D in English. Still considering a Chicago school, Brown, UC Irvine-Ph.D in Culture and Theory.

Would love a great American Studies programs but not open to L.A. and USC or Berkeley. Any feedback?
