Thanks Otto,

In that case let me be more specific. I want to compare diasporic jewish communities in Europe with Chinese communities in South East-Asia. My angle is to analyze these communities' behavior using the Bible and the confucian analects. I will try to narrow this down to something even more specific but I really want to know what kind of departments will be suitable for me. Some told me to try Anthropology, others said Cultural studies while some claim its Religious Studies or even Philisophy......What do you think??

Hello, I'm planning to start applying for PhD programs in the US but I'm not too sure where I belong???? My research involves eastern civilization (China) and western civil. (Europe, US) in the fields of history, anthropology, philosophy art and culture in general, all of which involve very little scientific rigor. My attitude is more metaphysical and based on broad generalizations....do I fit anywhere? wht school am I looking for? can anyone help me?
