From: "Kwang Lee" <postcolonial1-AT-hotmail.com> Subject: Advice on Ph.D. programs Date: Wed, 21 Jan 1998 01:19:54 PST Hi List Folks, I'm writing to get some advice/info on Ph.D. programs where I can find a community of like-minded students and scholars. During a recent web search for Postcolonial studies, I discovered that it seems to be 'the in thang' to list poco studies as part of almost every English department's area of specialization. During cursory looks at the faculty profiles, I found that the actual number of typical scholars/profs specializing in poco studies was very small. I suppose this is partly due to the field's relative 'youth'. So, then some specific questions: -Outside of the places that the 'poco big hitters'(Spivak, Bhabha, Said, etc) teach, where are good places to pursue an advanced degree specializing in Poco studies? Why? -Can one pursue an advanced degree in poco studies outside the English department? I guess I'm thinking comp. lit, or American studies, or ??? -What might the advantages/disadvantages of studying poco theory/crit outside the U.S.? For example, in Australia? Or the U.K.? -Ideally, I'd like to specialize in minority/ethnic lit in addition to poco studies. Any other places besides Berkeley to do this? Thanks for your responses, feedback. I appreciate it. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --- from list postcolonial-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
