Which British universities' History Departments hold the best academic reputation ?
Q. Specifically, good reputations for research in Modern British History.
Asked by Rita K - Mon Jan 12 06:11:55 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Do you want an undergraduate course - or a post graduate course. If post graduate you should remember that we do things slightly differently in the UK. In American Universities you choose the University first - do a general year for a PhD and then opt for a course within the University. In the UK you apply for a particular course - which has already been awarded funding. You will then, upon acceptance research into a particular area - so rather than choose the University you would be better looking at post grad. opportunities in an area of research which interests you. This applies to Science which I know a little about. For history you may be able to work on your own - but do remember that we are far less financially generous to… [cont.]

Is it bad to have two departments co-sponsor and event?
Q. This probably seems silly, but I want to make sure. My student group is hosting a speakers series (or hoping to host, rather) at our university and we need to have it co-sponsored by an academic department. The two departments that came to mind are the International Affairs and Poli Sci depts. Would it be out of line to ask them both to co-sponsor? I mean, I doesn't seem like it would be, but I want to make sure it's not like one department is stepping on the others toes or something like that... Thanks for your help!

A. No, in fact many events are sponsored by multiple departments. It's a great way for a group or department to pool money from several sources to afford an event that they individually couldn't get, but relates to all of those involved. Just make sure that when asking each department that you tailor your request to their department's goals and needs. And you can always say that you are contacting other departments about it. Departments working together looks good for the departments and the school. The big thing when working with multiple sponsors is to treat them fairly relative to their contribution. If they give equivalent resources to help you, they get equal billing in advertisements, press releases, etc. If their gifts are more… [cont.]

how many faculty departments don't need to secure any funding?
Q. for example, philosophy and english professors don't need any funding to conduct advanced research because their research just involves going to the library. what other academic departments are like this?
Asked by worldpeace - Tue Sep 19 21:08:49 2006 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Actually, faculty department do have to secure grant funding. In academia, it is "publish or perish." To do so, much research is needed, sometimes in other countries. Also, the state does not totally fund a university, so grants assist in paying for overhead (electricity, etc.). Every seven years, professors are eligible for a sabbatical. They can take one-half or one full year to study in their field. This takes money, and here again the grants come into play. Grants fund their travel.

Modern Feminists, do history departments recruit misogynists in academia...?

A. The achievements of important women are studied in University History Departments along with the achievements of important men. Logically...it must be the unimportant women who are covered exclusively by Women's Studies Departments. In any case first world culture owes a great deal to the achievements of dead white males so it is not surprising that their stories are well represented in history classes. Edit: I think that there is a free market in achievement. The biggest achievers will get noticed and be recorded in history no matter what their sex or race is.

contemporary relevance of women's studies/gender studies as a field of inquiry?

A. There are many reasons. For one, the need to understand the difference between male and female sexuality. Through women's studies I found out that women are more turned on by a man loving them, and "For females, being desired is the orgasm" finding the male body visually attractive & sexy is not as orgasmic as finding themselves sexy. Through this I learnt that "women s desire is not relational, it s narcissistic it is dominated by the yearnings of self-love, by the wish to be the object of erotic admiration and sexual need, more than finding the male body attractive." I also learnt that looking at a naked man walking on the beach is about as exciting as looking at landscapes for women."

Do you think college is a waste of time and money?
Q. Especially the bigger colleges like Harvard, UMich, Yale, etc.? I have seen so many bright students from these schools have the cards stacked against them. The systems at these schools, and many other four-year colleges are set up to funnel many bright students into liberal arts fields, where they find out upon graduation that no one will hire them. Meanwhile, I've seen so many high school grads and community college grads get great jobs. Is it time for those college magazines and books to recommend universities and colleges focused on preparing students for the job market, rather than those concerned about their academic reputation and liberal arts departments?

A. I have a Bachelor degree and am going for my Masters after having taken a 3 year break.
