Thank you for recommending your students to our doctoral programs here at UC Irvine in past years. We write to let you know about an exciting program that might be of interest to some of your current students considering graduate school. The UCI School of Humanities Black Studies Cluster (BSC) is an interdisciplinary humanities Ph.D. recruitment project for students interested in Black Studies. A collaboration between the departments of Comparative Literature, Culture & Theory, English, Film & Media Studies, History, Spanish & Portuguese, and Visual Studies, and anchored by the Critical Theory Emphasis, the BSC provides additional funding and resources to support graduate students interested in Black thought, literature, and media; histories of Black resistance movements and freedom struggle, domestic and international; comparative histories of race and racialization; and critical theories of anti-Blackness, colonialism, and violence. <br><br>
We have already welcomed two extraordinary cohorts of students, and are thrilled to announce that we will be recruiting a third cohort of students for matriculation in 2023-24. To be considered for the BSC, students need only apply via the standard process to one of the affiliated programs. Students interested in being considered for the BSC should mention their interest in their statement of purpose or elsewhere on their application, but this is not a requirement. Current BSC student profiles, and deadlines and links to participating doctoral programs’ application pages can be found at: <span style="font-size:16px"><a href="https://mx.technolutions.net/ss/c/gsby7xed_Q9kJKoUKuDGdHyDzKhencMnRn84SDrrpAf4Dv2C0jc6ls2_7JUAMUwA9RARK-ZhMLMK_vMr2BpNe0hqU49avHIEl_08dSLsY6z7xCzToWt3j4tjZQpyK_RzjeuyYHkBJXxdAPVxIU-dpSe2MIvmlisH_yeSE27Pz7RXCj452devyqY0uHb87hTp/3q9/dnW4ZqO9Qwq4W6JEqS2-sg/h0/knk4Gj-Vwx7VWLGE58dncU_5XDp8fWBT8dLQr_JG4Uc" title="https://www.humanities.uci.edu/graduate/black-studies-cluster" target="_blank">https://www.humanities.uci.edu/graduate/black-studies-cluster</a></span><br><br>
We hope that you will forward this information to any students you have who might be interested in applying in 2022-23. If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to email us at <a href="mailto:blackstudies@uci.edu" title="mailto:blackstudies@uci.edu" target="_blank">blackstudies@uci.edu</a>. Students can learn more about the individual programs in our cluster by contacting the Director of Graduate Studies for each department.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="m_1260581151435297612padding" style="padding:5px 15px 25px 15px"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_1260581151435297612responsive-table" width="600"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td align="left" style="padding:20px 0 0 0;font-size:16px;line-height:25px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#333333">Best,<br><br>
