2024-25 English Admissions: Media Aesthetics

For the 2024-2025 admissions cycle, the University of Chicago English Department is accepting only applicants planning to focus their graduate work on “media aesthetics.” We are looking for students who are asking and answering questions of how distinct mediums (print, performance, film, digital media, etc.) shape aesthetic experience, as well as those studying historical and cultural approaches to media and mediation. This work can be done in any period, and it can be transnational and multilinguistic in scope.
