PhD in the US for a foreign student

[Maria Dmytrieva]

Dear colleagues,     I  have been reading this mailing list for many years but never introduced myself.     I am Maria Dmytrieva from Ukraine, currently a Fulbright Scholar taking a Master's course in linguistics at California State University, Northridge.    I graduated in 1997 from  Lessia Ukrainka Volyn State University as a specialist in Applied Linguistics.    I worked as a freelance translator and interpreter since my first year at the university, and after graduation  I studied in a PhD program at Kyiv National Linguistic University from which I dropped out due to financial difficulties.    In the years 2002-2006 I organized Kyiv city seminar  in gender linguistics which brought together people who shared my interest in gender studies, among which there wre students, PhD students, faculty, businesspeople,  journalists and many others (our temporary website is located here: http://linguistics.kava.kiev.ua/seminar/).     Currently I am looking for a PhD program in liguis
tics in which I could pursue my research in the fields of gender linguistics, sociolinguistics, and ethnolinguistics.    I would greatly appreciate recommendations as to what schools I should pay attention first.    I would also be thankful for advice where to apply for funding as I realize that my chances for the scholarship -- being a foreigner -- are not too high.      Maybe you know of some programs directed at Ukrainian citizens or Ukrainian women in humanities or whatever can help me find the resources I need to get this PhD -- so when I come back home  after graduation I have all the knowledge and all the credentials I need to be able to influence linguistics as a discipline in Ukraine.     Waiting for your answers off-list (mariadmytrieva at gmail.com),    
    
With best regards,    
Maria
