Hi again,

Just to clarify, here are the categories I have to choose from for doctoral
selection committees:

1) Literatures/fine arts
2) History, philosophy, classics, religious studies, mediaeval studies
3) Sociology, anthropology, communication, criminology, archaeology,
geography, library science, folklore, demography, urban and reigional
studies, environmental studies
4) Education, psychology, linguistics, soical work
5) Management, political science, industrial relations, law, economics

I was trying to decide between 1) and 3).
