Yeah I'm not sure...
I would love to go as far in post-grad study as possible and progress into academia in Political Economy or Sociology, but i'm not too sure how viable such a job would be--just taking the ridiculous academic job cuts that USYD is currently undergoing as an example.
It was pretty good yeah, I think I was waaaaaayyy more prepared than most people there =\ hahaha. Some chick next to me han no idea what subjects she wanted to consider doing, so I think mine must've went a bit better than hers lawl. But uhh yeah I spent way too much time there though, I ended...
Re: 2012 USYD Chatter Thread
What I gathered from it was they just help you settle in and show you around the campus and keep in touch with you etc. Not particularly amazing, but why not I guess.
Plus you get a head start on meeting all the babin' Arts kids--who are doing your degree/similar...
Re: 2012 USYD Chatter Thread
Yeah i'll probably end up doing it, I can't really find a good enough reason why not to.
And yeah I kind of picked up that something wasn't all-right with him--he sounded a bit off, and he admitted he went pretty hard last night. Just what I like to hear.
Wooo...
This. I wish there was some sort of left-wing group that wasn't attached to some sectarian nutter Trotskyist party like Socialist Alternative/Solidarity/Resistance but I think it's not to be!
In any case, I'll probably end up joining the Amnesty International soc, the Political Economy soc...

I definitely share your caution, I only picked that out because when I was looking at the units of study it got me particularly excited, and I've heard very good things about the lecturer who teaches the Spanish Civil War unit at USYD. Anything cold war-esque sounds good too, I'm just going to...
I love the idea of ECOP with it's anti-neoclassical economics tendency so definitely sticking with it
In int. relations I wanted to do something middle eastern as well, if only I had the units space I would definitely do 'Arab World, Islam and the Middle East', but to no avail. I'm very...
