Sex and power games go
hand in hand in Welcome to Academia, a dark sati
re that uses the university as a metaphor for personal and professional re
lationships.
\;
An idealistic graduate student
of modern history on her journey to obtain a well-deserved diploma learns
the hard way that merit and intellect are not the most important values in
the corrupt and indifferent environment that she has faith in. The subjec
t of her doctoral thesis, “\;Aftermath: Yalta, the 20th Century, and
Beyond,”\; symbolizes the power structures of her own reality—\;
her doctoral committee, known as the Hydra, represents the three World War
Two superpowers: the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union.
\;
To make matters worse, her charming but oblivious
thesis advisor abandons her amidst the swirl of departmental politics. Who
’\;ll be the new Dean? Will the new President ruin the \;curricu
lum and get rid of tenure? And what will happen to our young, innocent stu
dent of modern history who has to pay a high price in order to get her wel
l-deserved diploma? Will the 'rite of passage' that she has to go through
make her end up like her oppressed oppressors?
