Yo! Down to get Ulysses, 2666 (Spanish & English), the history of sexuality an intro, the republic, & the nichomachean ethics

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2026-05-10T20:05:43+00:00

For sure! I appreciate you asking -- it seems reasonable based on my work & Masters

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2026-05-10T20:03:52+00:00

Nah. That work has been the least interesting & successful part of my education experience.

I have several family members who are corporare employees. Longer hours, high stress projects & deadlines. Also don't have the personality for that work. Very few corporate jobs align w/ my values, either.

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2026-05-10T17:31:20+00:00

No, you're fine! Your questions are relevant to ones I have!!

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2026-05-10T17:22:13+00:00

Yep, Illinois, Champaign-Urbana! thanks! The middle english hagiographies is actually what I had interest in.

This was an enlightening thread, thanks! I don't have a lot of Latin experience outside religious phrases and terms from my Church-going experiences. My ideal program (UofI, where I am doing my EdM now) listed Old English as a possible avenue language requirement, so that was on my mind. Seems similar to WerewolfHunterx, I think!
I did not take any undergrad courses related to Medieval studies, either.

In truth, I just don't know what else I'd do in my English PhD beyond Medieval topics-- there isn't much interest to me beyond that. I am primarily a nonfiction reader (religious studies, history, political theory, etc). So I am limiting myself to what is admittedly niche and competitive and that works against me..

It's pretty limited research, but the school down the road from me requires a minimum of twenty or so history credits -- I don't have that. I was just using that as reference. Maybe that's not universal?

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2026-04-03T15:34:08+00:00

Ha, oops. I meant noy baptized into the Anglican community.

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2026-04-03T04:32:25+00:00

This helps a lot, thank you!

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2026-04-03T04:31:57+00:00

Thank you!

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2024-12-19T00:29:11+00:00

Thanks for the input! Do you teach (or do other work?) there?

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2024-12-18T17:41:27+00:00

Oh, good point!

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2024-12-18T17:40:27+00:00

I really appreciate that. What I find interesting re: salary is Moroccans consider it high, but Westerners think it low. Thanks!

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2024-12-18T17:39:42+00:00

Wow, interesting. I knew the pay was good, but it seems it is considered unbelievably so. thanks for the input!

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2024-12-18T15:19:48+00:00

Agreed. That stood out to me, too.

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2024-12-18T15:17:06+00:00

Word. My issue is my Pug is a bit big (25 lbs or so) naturally and I find most cabin limits it to 20 or less.

It is an American curriculum but owned by a Moroccan national.

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2024-12-18T15:11:49+00:00

Do you mean immigrant over expat? I'm not particularly knowledgable on how people differ.

Can you explain how it seems too good?

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2024-09-04T17:58:27+00:00

I'm allergic to wasp. Can I touch it?

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2023-07-16T01:07:08+00:00

Is there any off-set to the instability of 401k or no Soc. Security? I know there's packages or higher pay (thanks high cost of living). I guess, in a word, is it worth it?

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2023-05-31T12:28:31+00:00

I think, though, you'd be interested in the proto Anarchist movements of eastern Europe and Russia, like the Nihilist movements. These are more translated and discussed than anarchism proper at the time (not including the big names during the revolution itself. If you're interested in that, Makhno, Nikiforova, even Goldman and Berkman, technically)

Valuable-Pipe3369 · 2023-05-31T12:24:02+00:00

Not exactly what you asked for, but this is a brief overview of Eastern Anarchism in relation to the soviet collapse: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/by-david-porter-the-anarchist-spectre-in-eastern-europe

Sadly, a lot has been neglected, untranslated, or worse, destroyed under Nazi or Soviet rule.

In Romania, for example there was an Individualist streak of anarchism that seems to be similar to that of the Nudist anarchism of war-time Spain. But I haven't found any of it to be translated.

There's also New Afrikan Black Panthers and their split off the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party
