aimasiko Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hi everybody, So I met with the director of one of the PhD programs (International Relations) I plan on applying to, and everything was all good. Except that it dawned on me that my interests are too broad. It's too hard narrowing down and i am having a hard time knowing what exactly I want to work on. I am interested in international development, human rights, education, poverty eradication, corruption...(I know, too much) Also I really want to work on Africa. After a lot of thoughts all day (I also thought about foregoing the whole PhD idea). Anyway I realized that reading journals and papers would help identify and narrow my interest. basically, I want to read more papers. This is where I need your help. Can you please direct me to a website or any recommendation on articles and books in the International Relations. Also, I'd prefer to apply to programs specifically for International Relations/Studies, but that are more qualitative, if you can recommend any of those. Thank you JohnMason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bees Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I would just google some syllabi and see whose books you like and work out that way who you want to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
