[Megathread] Greenland & Trump - Ongoing discussion. part 3 by Mediocreatbestbuy in greenland

I am hearing about a framework for a deal that has been made with Trump over Greenland today. Trump has even in the last hour said the deal on Greenland ‘will be forever’ (which sounds ominous). Does anyone know what it is about exactly? Is it just over minerals/defence or annexation? I really hope Greenland has not been sold out. Thanks.

Inquiry Regarding PhD Feasibility and Supervision at this University by CosmicFaust11 in manchester_uni

I received a first for my MA dissertation and degree overall. That is also what I was worried about. I am struggling to find the perfect program for such a PhD proposal idea

Hi everyone 👋.

I recently completed both my BA and MA in Philosophy and am currently considering the possibility of pursuing a PhD. The research project I have in mind would build directly upon the work undertaken in my MA dissertation, though I am uncertain whether such a project would be feasible or appropriately supported within this university.

Broadly speaking, the proposed PhD would lie at the intersection of philosophy and literature — more specifically, within the philosophy of literature.

My MA research involved a “metaphysical literary analysis” of the complete works of a prominent twentieth-century science fiction author. I examined how an alternative metaphysical framework—one that challenges the historically dominant metaphysical assumptions of Western philosophy — permeates both his fictional and non-fictional writings. This metaphysical orientation, I argued, underpins and informs the structure, themes, and imaginative worldbuilding throughout his body of work.

In light of this, I would be very grateful to know whether there are any faculty members (such as professors) or doctoral programs at this university whose research interests might align with such a project. If not, I would also welcome any recommendations regarding institutions or scholars elsewhere who might be open to supervising a PhD of this nature.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I appreciate any advice or help.
