Heavy Metal PhD

It's all happening! The University of Newcastle in New South Wales Australia is now offering a fully funded PhD program in Heavy Metal. There are only two funded seats available (for Australian residents) or just one seat if the school selects an international candidate.

I've long considered studying heavy metal an anthropological exercise. After all, metal fans are a very distinct group of people - kind of like a tribe with a set of rituals and acceptable behavior. It will be interesting to see the research that comes from this program.
