Cry for help -- graduate program advice

All, This one is a huge cry for help. I greatly appreciate any advice you have. I am looking for graduate programs that can approach new media studies from a culture studies perspective. Ideally, said hypothetical graduate program would take a theoretical perspective toward computer mediated human/human and human/computer interactions while keeping a broad enough perspective to look at online communities and other technology-based movements within culture. So far, I have struggled to confine my interest to "media studies" or "culture studies" programs, and "communications" or "journalism" programs are even providing interesting program descriptions. I am turning to you for advice regarding which programs might serve my interests best. My background -- As an undergrad, I wrote an honors thesis titled "Masculinity and Cyberculture" which took a cultural/gender psychology perspective toward online identity creation. The work was well received and I would love to continue similar stuff without being confined to psychology. Since graduating, I have worked within the arts and now create new media for a textbook publishing company. Many thanks in advance for any advice you have. Feel free to reply back to me individually, so as to not clutter the list. Regards, ~g -- --------------------------------------------------------------- We believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further...
