I am hoping to apply to US universities for a PhD in English Literature this year. I wanted to ask about the qualifying exam. They dont have it in my country. For people who experienced that, how does it go? Do people fail Literature quals? What is the expectation?
Thank you.
This will be a very strange question, admittedly. But I have been writing my first paper to submit to an academic journal. I am working independently so I dont have any professor to ask for help. My question is, when writing literary scholarship, do you ever feel like you are straight up writing whatever? I feel like I am just bullshitting, sorry for the language. How do you make your argument and the content actually academically rigorous? And this is not about the fancy language, but the actual material. Thanks.
Hello, I am looking for critical theory on Failure. Can be from any philosopher or theorist. Would mostly help if it was failure from an existential or ontological perspective. Thank you.
Are there any PhD candidates or graduates here, especially those who have managed to secure positions abroad with scholarship? I am a Humanities student and preparing for my proposal. I would be grateful for any advice on the same. Thank you.
