back to school issue(s)
below is an updated list of schools and programs i'm interested in applying to. it is a bit too long at the moment though my primary preoccupation is getting together application materials as i have been out of touch with professors (and the ones i want to have letters from most are dead) & writerly friends, behind on writing and a bit rusty on math (which, unlike most of my counterparts, i am good at and do not fear).
my selections suggest that i am most interested in writing, which is true, but at the doctorate level one is expected to have scholarly interests as well. given my, as folks put it, eclectic and interdisciplinary interests, i am looking for programs &/or professors that best fit plus, as one may note, i'd like to be in California (for a variety of reasons, none of which i will go into at the moment). there are certainly other places to consider but i have either forgotten about 'em, don't wanna be there or am unaware of the institution's direct & personal value to me.
anyway, my interests as regards my studies are focused upon but not limited to one or more of the following: anarchism and the arts, emergence, historiography, history of science, philosophy of science, poetics, poetry (especially neglected poets and "difficult" poetry; ekphrasis)
