Bio
A little about myself: I am a (European) History Graduate Student at Villanova University. I am also a full time Litigation Paralegal (my necessity - fellowships do not pay the bills). My main motivation for setting up this blog was to chonicle my journey through my thesis research, as well as all the random and hellish that I encounter throughout my graduate school experience. I might take a minor detour, but I shall keep everyone posted.

Edit: It looks like the application process is upon me yet again! I hope to have all of my PhD applications out the door by August 2008. (Yes, I am a bit neurotic!)

I am truly an interdisciplinary bird with a wide variety of research interests. The prominent ones are listed below (in no particular order):

(Black) European History
Colonial and Post-Colonial Discourse
African Diaspora Studies
Women's and Gender History
History of Sexuality
Comparative Racial Formations
Afro-German Literature and Theory
Comparative/Transnational Feminist Theory
Queer Theory
Queer of Color Critique

Thanks for peeking in on my academic travels. Please add me to your f-list, if you are so inclined! Please let me know if you want to be added to my personal/kink filter. All academic-related post are posted to general friends only!

Cheers!
