[Dancecult-l] Academic Quests in EDMC?

[giordano at iastate.edu]

Hello Dancecult subscribers,  
  I am a prospective Grad student specializing in ethnomusicology and cultural 
anthropology.... I have done extensive research of the PSY-trance phenomenon 
in the Midwestern United States and have written about spirituality and 
secular/sacred ideology within EDMC and ritualized trance dance performance in 
world history and the new age.  Other areas of study include Sufism and South 
Asian culture.  
  I am looking for a school where I may engage these topics (and more) and 
also have resources within the academic community.  I have been looking around 
many different schools and still feel like I am in the dark... I've checked 
out the universities within the dancecult scholar list, but I am wondering if 
there are some good schools not listed.
  
  I would greatly appreciate some feedback about different acamdemic programs 
and scholarly resource (anywhere).  Any sort of information or discussion 
about institutions and grad programs would be enjoyed. 

Thanx, 
Ryan "MOLIMO"
