hm. but so then those of us doing literary studies--interdisciplinary lit studies, with a popular culture component--aren't eligible? just checking... i've been looking forward to applying for this fellowship, but maybe the fields rotate every year? i recall that i would have been eligible before...
thanks for the info! i found more here than i did poring over the USF site, alas.
hello tejanota,
here's how i think it works: each year, all departments are encouraged to apply for this. if they apply and are accepted, their department (whether it is media studies or english or visual arts) are listed on that year's program. so, for example, media studies applied and were accepted and therefore you see us listed on the call for applicants. because english is not listed, i can only assume that they did not apply this year.
please understand that i'm not exactly sure how the process works. your best bet is to contact Gerardo Marín in the provost's office.
i hope this helps tejanota!
thanks so much! i appreciate the info. i'll contact GM next week.
all best!
