It's THE date: 

Political Science --> Comparative literature Ph.D. forum

[Determinedandnervous]

While we're in the eye of the storm of results, I'm curious to hear everyone's research interests.

[cgfren08]

I don't want to be too specific, for obvious reasons.

Very generally- Public opinion, voting patterns across demographics, and political economy.

Broadly, my interests lie in political psychology... The nature of ideology, prejudice, and the role of emotions in politics. 

[elw]

Also behavior/psychology: Opinion formation/change (esp. "truther" or conspiratorial beliefs), partisanship, prejudice.

[Sbrail2]

My interests lie in the intersection of race, gender, and ethnicity with American politics

I am interested in the effects of Chinese foreign policy on developing countries. 

 

Also, good luck to everyone! This week will be another big one!

[gradphil]

IR Theory, nuclear proliferation/deterrence and democratization with special focus to South Asia.

[whatwasithinking]

@elwright Hey elwright...just wanted to quickly check...did you receive any email of acceptance from Illinois and Michigan State...alas..I feel I did get rejected from  both the schools...I guess the rejection emails are yet to be sent out! 

On the overall topic of research interest - Democratization, political behavior and economic policy choices

[needavacation]

Here's hoping this is the beginning of a good week for everyone here!

[Birdie]

research interests: post-soviet space, democratization (and failure of democratization), nation building.

 

I'm still waiting to hear back from 3 schools and every day that goes by without an answer--one way or another--has been more and more stressed out.

[Straussian Dogmatist]

I'm a theory concentration. My area of interest is in the theoretical foundations of modern liberal democracy and the interplay between liberal thought and technology. 

I'm waiting on 7 schools! Received a waitlist from Davis and it's been silence from everyone else. Luckily none of my other schools seem to have reported much of anything! Hoping for Georgetown, Notre Dame, and maybe others this week... spooky.

Something might still come today. I have noticed that most notifications seem to come later on in the day.
