Hi Paul C: You could call her/his attention to the following list compliled by Fred Lee: http://www.urpe.org/gradhetprogs.html The person asked about "theoretical leanings" of faculty. That is an issue, to be sure. But, three other issues are more important, imo: 1. are there faculty who specialize in the particular area of study that the person is interested in? Are there courses in that specialization? Is it possible to pick that area of interest as a specialization? 2. are there faculty who are known for being tolerant of other theoretical perspectives, non- dogmatic, and - from a student perspective - encouraging and easy to work with? 3. how _many_ heterodox faculty are there in a department? Attending a school where there are a number of radical faculty is to be preferred over attending one where there is but one - no matter how brilliant that individual faculty member may be. In solidarity, Jerry _______________________________________________ ope mailing list ope@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/ope
