phd applications

For many schools, today is the last day for my materials to arrive, since the deadline is 01 December 2007.  I thought I’d list the places to which I’ve applied for a PhD in Anthropology [most places its a PhD in sociocultural anthropology & linguistics].  You should know up front that University of IL at Urbana-Champagne is my #1 choice, with this school having the hightest concentration of border studies and queer theorists, along with Continental Philosophy incorporated into their program.

• University of IL Urbana-Champagne
• University of New Mexico
• Michigan State University
• University of Minnesota
• University of Texas

For some, this is a short list, but the reality is that there are few places doing border theory in the way that I would like to pursue and envision seeing myself pursue it.  Should I not get in this year, I will apply again next year and perhaps include University of California, Irvine as a possibility.

Many of you have supported me in my search for the “perfect” program.  I am grateful for your help and support.  I hope that we are able to sit back and enjoy the result of it all!
