unasked for cvs/relevant coursework; dual doctorates?

Dec 10, 2007 00:56

Two brief questions.

1- Is it appropriate to attach a cv/resume and/or a "relevant coursework" document if a school doesn't ask for this? I ask primarily because my school's transcripts are bloody awful, barely useful, and there are things in my cv/resume and coursework, like all the Honors classes I've taken and research projects and teaching experience, that I want to highlight.
2- What I want to do at this point is obtain a Ph.D in Comparative Literature and English. That is, I want to study English Literature, but from a comparativist's point of view. Now, I assume this means apply to Comp Lit depts. and have English as my national literature, which I have seen done, but does anyone know anything about "dual doctorates"? My Renaissance Lit prof apparently got his degree in Comp Lit -and- English, and said he had a dual doctorate, and I don't know if this is like a double major or what.

Thanks in advance!
