Join us to learn more about our PhD program in Literary, Cultural, and Linguistic Studies at the University of Miami (Florida)!
Our Ph.D. Program is not divided into sub-sections by languages. It assembles scholars who conduct graduate teaching and advising across language borders. Its courses in Critical Theory; Teaching Methodology; Early Modern Studies; Gender, Queer and Sexuality Studies; Socio-linguistics; Professionalization, among other ones, are alternatively taught by colleagues from different language fields; and French, Spanish and Portuguese graduate seminars on any topic, genre and / or period are often or may be conceived in a comparative and inter-lingual way. Our department and the University of Miami also hosts many faculty members working in Anglo, French and Spanish Caribbean Studies.
While students in can take seminars related to the literature(s) and culture(s) of specific linguistic and cultural traditions (mostly in French, Spanish and Portuguese), they also have the opportunity, if linguistically qualified, to develop comparative projects involving (an)other language(s) such as Arabic, Chinese, and Italian. In addition, German and Japanese are also taught in our Department at the undergraduate level, as are Hebrew and Haitian Creole, and we have faculty members knowledgeable in Basque, Catalan, Netherlandic and Serbian.
We actively encourage research that crosses, bridges and / or intersects languages, literatures, media, geographical areas, and periods. Through the Directed Independent Language Study Program, whose director’s office is located within our Department, individualized training in more than thirty other languages is offered, including Catalan; Egyptian, Levantine and Moroccan Arabic; Turkish and Persian / Farsi; Cantonese; Quechua; Kikongo, Swahili, Wolof and Zulu.
The virtual open house will take place on September 29th at 2:30pm (Eastern U.S. Time; 20h30 in France).
