So apparently I'm being encouraged to apply for History at UC Davis, for 20th century US cultural/gender/sexuality history. I'll be interested in your comments about Davis as a place to live; the not-in-the-city-ness of it bugs me.
i'm moving at the end of august, the quarter doesn't start till late sept. i met some of the folks in the history dept last week when i was visiting & they were really enthusiastic. sounds like there are lots of people there working on gender/sexuality histories. i think davis will be live-able for me for the first two years, but after that i'll try to move into the east bay & commute up. i can email you with more details from my visit if you want...
Yeah, that'd be rad. I've not been checking mail much lately (again), but I'd definitely like to hear your take on things and how Davis compares culturally/visually to Boston/Cambridge. Since I like to live car-free, I'm thinking that california in general may not be the place for me, but I can dream. And there are always motorcycles.
hey! my super cool roommate and her girlfriend are going out there too (my roommate's doing a grad degree in sustainable development at uc davis). congrats :)
my thoughts exactly. i tried to find you last night, but alas. i'll look for you this evening but if we're like ships in the night then i'll email you. if you have a cell phone, send me the # so i can call you when i arrive or something.
email me & i'll give you my last name & flight info. you could also call ericka 'cause i'll be in touch with her (& she's meeting me at the airport). you'll need my last name to find me at the hotel though, 'cause i won't know the room # till i get there.
i still need to hear the scoop on your trip, though now i guess i'll have to wait until you get back from ericka's wedding. but I MISS YOU. so there. :**
it's unclear to me whether gender or science/society would be better. probably gender. i know what my project will focus on, so i'll probably just go with whichever concentration gives me the best resources for that.
we should make an im/chat date sometime about what you're doing. i have all these thoughts of late, and am starting to feel a history of sexuality/sexuality studies project creeping into my brain. i'm so psyched for you!
