PHD conundrum

[Aaron Gerow]

If you are also thinking about the United States or Canada, there are a 
number of places you can look into. Primarily that would involve 
investigating the universities where a recognized Japanese film scholar 
teaches (most belong to this list). Here is just a brief list.

Yale University (we have a separate PhD program in East Asian cinema)
University of Michigan (Mark Nornes)
University of Chicago (Michael Raine)
New York University (Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto)
University of Minnesota (Mark Anderson)
University of Oregon (Daisuke Miyao)
University of Kansas (Michael Baskett)
McGill University (Tom Lamarre, Anne McKnight)
University of Illinois (David Desser)
University of Pittsburgh (Keiko McDonald)
University of Florida (Maureen Turim, Scott Nygren, Joe Murphy)
University of Toronto (Eric Cazdyn)
Carleton University (Mitsuyo Wada-Marciano)

(Forgive me if I omitted anything or anything is out of date)

These can be quite different programs and possibilities (some are only 
MAs), but do some web surfing and also write to these people.

By the way, the description of the Yale program is here:

Happy hunting!
