I am thrilled to announce that the American Studies Program at Boston University will be accepting new PhD Students for the 27/28 academic year. These are fully funded, unionized, 5-year positions, with 4 semesters of guaranteed dissertation fellowship in years 4 & 5.

Application Deadline: December 15, 2026
The American Studies Program at Boston University is a nationally recognized leader in the interdisciplinary field of American Studies. Our students and faculty study the disparate yet interconnected cultures of colonial North America and the United States as seen in the ideas and actions of its people, and as expressed in a range of forms, especially culture, the arts, media, literature, and institutions - often seen through a global or transnational lens. Formerly known as the American & New England Studies Program, we maintain active collaborations with many cultural institutions in the region, especially in the Boston Area. Our large PhD program has produced tenure-track protessors, public historians, museum curators, and directors at major universities, museums, and other cultural and historical institutions.
Funding Opportunities
PhD students receive full funding for up to five years (12 months a year) under a collective bargaining agreement. During this time, they take courses, teach in their fields and disciplines of interest, and develop and write dissertations. The fellowship package guarantees four semesters of dissertation fellowship in years 4 and 5, with no service obligations Additional funding is available from Boston University for travel to conferences, for archival research, and for internships.
Current students have recently received outside fellowships from the Fulbright Foundation, the American Antiquarian Society, the Massachusetts Historical Society, the Huntington Library, the Smithsonian Institution, the Beinecke Library, the Corning Museum of Glass, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, and the American Historical Association.
Graduate Student Association
The Program's own independent Graduate Student Association (GSA) is comprised of elected PhD students who sponsor events and programs for developing professional skills, while representing our students' interests to the governing faculty.

A list of affiliate faculty, available also on the program’s webpage

It also comes with the most cursed acknowledgements page to have ever been written.

Acknowledgments
This dissertation would not have been possible without the support of many people. First
and foremost, I thank my advisors Leah Somerville, Randy Buckner, and Steven Pinker for
welcoming me to Harvard and for their years of outstanding mentorship. I am also indebted to
my professors from the University of Southern California, including Frank Manis, who nurtured
my passion for developmental psychology, and Megan Herting, whose mentorship introduced
me to research on neuroendocrinology and sexual development. I am also grateful to my high
school teacher, Mrs. E., for first introducing me to academic psychology.
I am thankful that my studies have set me on a path connecting with brilliant researchers
similarly fascinated by sex differences, including Carole Hooven, Alex Byrne, and Hollie
Hammond. Through these friendships I am grateful to have been introduced to my committee
members, Michael Bailey and Kenneth Zucker, whose support made this dissertation possible
and whose feedback has been tremendously valuable. I am also indebted to the transgender
people my work has allowed me to connect with and learn from through their lived experiences,
especially my friend Ramblin. This is a sensitive topic and I appreciate those who have
approached it with nuance and grace in the public forum, especially Lisa Littman, Helen Joyce,
Abigail Shrier, Leor Sapir, and James Morandini, all of whom I also had the good fortune of
meeting during my graduate studies.
As an interdisciplinary researcher with eclectic interests, I am fascinated by my
dissertation topic because it threads so many existing topics I have dabbled in throughout my
research career, including: hormones and brain development, evolution and sex differences,
puberty and mental health, adolescent social development, and philosophical questions of mind,
identity, and bioethics, all while addressing an ongoing public health crisis and unfortunately

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

My colleague Tobias Wiggins is holding this amazing seminar series on trans methodologies at McGill! Please spread the word!

Dreaming Trans: Method, Sex, & the Unconscious with Prof Tobias Wiggins Session 1: T4T Methodologies - Mar 10, 4:30 – 6:30 Session 2: Desire Lines: Trans//Sexuality - Mar 24, 5:30 – 8:00 Session 3: Transphobic Countertransference - Apr 7, 4:30 – 6:30 Location: TBA Trans is a fever dream. Erupting at the edges of overheated fantasy, in contemporary scenes of moral panic the figure of the trans//sexual haunts the collective psyche, used as a political scapegoat or release valve for anxieties about sex, embodiment, and cohesion of the nation-state. What does it mean to think with trans livability amongst a social imaginary that insists, if not simply on trans destruction, then on their absorption of antagonisms and disavowed affects? Further, if we take seriously the psychoanalytic dream’s capacity to compromise, to wish, to overdetermine, and to leak jouissance, then what becomes possible for the trans dreamer within this field? Our conversations will unfold across three sites of inquiry, each holding the tension between trans-fantasy and the political fantasy of transness. The first seminar traverses possibilities in T4T methodologies, or trans-specific approaches to research. The second seminar examines transmasculine sexuality in film, the archive, and the bathhouse with a screening and discussion of the hybrid film Desire Lines (2024). The third seminar turns to the unconscious life of transphobia through an examination of transphobic countertransference. By thinking trans together, this participatory series insists on opposing cisteria through the sustained practice of collective psychic movement and play. Open to all; particularly welcoming 2-Spirit, trans, nonbinary, & gender-nonconforming people; scholars in Transgender Studies; those interested in psychoanalysis; faculty; graduate students; & advanced undergraduate students. Registration limited to participants who commit to completing the assigned readings in advance and to attending all sessions in person.

James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

JAMES MERRILL
CHRISTMAS TREE
From loes torn hamin Had been fed, looked after, kept still, Meant, I knew— of course I knew - That it would be only a matter of weeks,
That there was nothing more to do. Warmly they took me in, made much of me,
The point from the start was to keep my spirits up. I could assent to that. For honestly, It did help to be wound in jewels, to send Their colors flashing forth from vents in the deep
Fragrant sables that cloaked me head to foot. Over me then they wove a spell of shining —
Purple and silver chains, eavesdripping tinsel, Amulets, milagros: software of silver,
A heart, a little girl, a Model T Two staring eyes. Then angels, trumpets, BUD and BEA (The children's names) in clownlike capitals, Somewhere a music box whose tiny song
Played and replayed I ended before long By loving. And in shadow behind me, a primitive IV To keep the show going. Yes, yes, what lay ahead
Was clear: the stripping, the cold street, my chemicals
Plowed back into the Earth for lives to come — No doubt a blessing, a harvest, but one that doesn't bear,
Now or ever, dwelling upon. To have grown so thin.
Needles and bone. The little boy's hands meeting
About my spine. The mother's voice: Holding up wonderfully!
No dread. No bitterness. The end beginning. Today's
Dusk room aglow For the last time
With candlelight. Faces love-lit,
Gifts underfoot.
Still to be so poised, so
Receptive. Still to recall, to praise.
