I admire your courage. I actually thought of this--but was afraid of people's negative reaction to the subject. I'm not ready to apply for a dissertation yet anyway. I'm not sure if I want to invest the time.
In the meantime, this may help. There are a lot of books out by girls who have traveled all over and wrote about their experiences. Some on a high level, such as well educated journalists (words so complicated you find yourself reading the dictionary more than the book), and others with just your everday english. I don't remember the authors names or book titles. I'm sure you could find them on the internet somewhere though. Just thought I would let you know they are out there. Perhaps you can contact the author--she may be a great help to your paper. If you're still interested, I can try to find the book written by the journalist.
Also, if you do get accepted, let us know! I would like to read your work when you are done. Although it takes like--two years just to write, not including study time. Is that right? Can't remember. Oh, and if you're permitted to add extras, tell us your experience of all those "snooty" professor reactions or just in general how people react to your study. That might even need to be a book of it's own...![]()
