WMST + ??

[lenagogan]

Hello!

Does anybody have any suggestions for grad programs (PhD, MA, MBA, a combination of those or otherwise) that includes some (not necessarily all) combination of the following:

WMST
Urban Planning
MBA
American Studies/History
Southern History
Gender/Race/Class studies

I am a little overwhelmed by the process and trying to choose the right

If you're picking between this many departments, you're probably not asking yourself the right questions. What research do you want to do? Where can you find a person appropriate to supervise that work? What kinds of courses are you interested in? What do you hope to get out of your degree?

The same questions can help you decide between a master's and a PhD as the things you've listed are VASTLY different. Maybe get a related job?

I want to do all types of research. I want to be supervised by numerous people and mentored by many more. I am interested in all sorts of courses that relate to the subjects listed above. I am hoping to get a job out of my degree that pays a living wage and makes me feel like I am doing something I enjoy.

They are only vastly different in a microscopic, modernist approach to academia. I am looking for a program that acknowledges a post-modern (preferably metamodern), global economy.

Getting a job: I am currently apprenticing as a motorcycle mechanic as I travel on a '76 Yamaha to South America. This too, is related to my above interests and future career goals.

That was me.

I apologize preemptively for the sassiness.

Humanities/social science/interdisciplinary degrees aren't known for a whole lot other than you get out of them what you put in. You haven't actually answered any of my questions, or shown that you even thought about them. If you just wanted people to find interdisciplinary programs for you... well, I'd suggest google. There are many websites out there listing graduate programs in a field (I've definitely seen them for Women's Studies and urban planning).

If you hadn't been sassy, I'd give you something more like what you seem to be looking for. If you really want to do research and be mentored by people, maybe you should figure out where the mentors you want are and apply to those programs. (Note that while this is helpful, I was thinking about offering you an idea that would actually let you combine WMST, race/class/gender studies, urban planning, and history... Alas, you get what you give.)

Alas, you get what you give.

C'est la vie. It is always for the best!
