Thank you so much, right back at ya! What's your first choice? You've applied to York and McMaster as well, right? And I definitely need all the luck in the world. My UG is from Europe (our BA's are usually only three and not four years) and not in particular in Women's or Gender studies (I've taken a few units though) so I'm a little nervous.

Mrbenfield Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'm wanting to do WGS in the context of anthropology. I applied to cultural anthropology programs at UIowa and SUNY Albany, and an archaeology program at SUNY Binghamton. Right now the research question I'm interested in pursuing is the impact European contact has on the gender/sexuality norms of indigenous peoples. I'm interested in the ethical issues of what stance anthropologists or global organizations should have on gender related issues in underdeveloped areas. kekology4 and NoirFemme 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be awesome, but I have to get in first. I applied to 9 schools as my last grad push. My GRE scores expire this year, so if I don't get in anywhere, I'll need to examine my next steps carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely not encouraged, and each school I research says you have to reach out to them. I made the mistake for the msw program I was accepted into last year. Most schools want direct correspondence; there isn't a place for it when you accept the offer april 15th Thank you, that is helpful. Yes, it has been my impression that it is discouraged in most cases. I suppose it certainly doesn't instill much confidence if one chooses to do that...

Shira70008 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I havent heard anything from UCLA (not sure if anyone else did) but I'm wondering how well known/ presitgious/ good of a program they are? I'm only asking because it's a fairly brand new program. I'm pretty sure it was just created in 2012. I'm also a first generation student and I just have no idea the types of that carry good names or their reputation whether good or bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kekology4 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Stony Brook gave me a day and a half to write a personal statement for this fellowship they nominated me for, and I can't determine if it should be single- or double-spaced! any advice?

Coffee Snob Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I've been notified by UBC! I'm admitted! Horraaaay! Is there anyone else applying to UBC's Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality & Social Justice? Is anyone attending at the moment? I'd love to learn more about the program before deciding where to enrol (also admitted to USC's American Studies & Ethnicity as well as UCSB's Global Studies). I've never been to Vancouver, so any insight about being a grad student in Vancouver will be great as well. I'm wishing everyone here who are still waiting for good news the very best of luck (although you might not need one) -- Sending unicorns of hope from rainy Jakarta Liiahhhh, kekology4 and jasminecity 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kekology4 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks for the congratulations y'all! congratulations @SEAsianInternational! Keep us updated as you narrow down. I cant believe they gave me a day and a half to write this fellowship statement lol. They said the schedule was not theirs which I totally understand, but it put me in quite the predicament. @Shira70008 I'm applying to UCLA gender studies as well. To my knowledge it's considered one of the better programs. And the school itself UCLA has a great reputation. "UCLA is No. 2 among American public universities and No. 10 in the world, according to the U.S. News and World Report 2017 Best Global Universities rankings that were published today."
