Possible Proposals
Reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man gave me the idea of exploring how art can be used by marginalized communities for emancipatory/liberatory purposes. This is quite general of course . It's also quite a diversion from my previous work which has largely been in mental health. Not sure yet how I'd sell it to an admissions committee or faculty member.

PhD Update
Well today I asked a colleague if she’ll provide a reference letter. I’m not sure she’s OK with it. Her reaction was a bit like she’s just smelled something bad. I reassured her it was for other programs. Still not not an excellent sign.
I’ve got to work on narrowing down which programs I intend to apply to. It’s a real struggle finding appropriate part-time programs so I can continue working full-time. Sadly I can’t afford to go to school full-time although that would be my ideal situation.
