Is string theory dead?

11d SUGRA is the low energy limit of M-Theory

Same way each of the 5 superstring theories have a 10d SUGRA theory as a low energy limit.

String theories.

String "theory" isn't science. It's some interesting speculative math. And it's certainly not a "theory". But that won't prevent mathematicians from strutting around and blowing string "theory" out of their asses and pretending to be scientists and deep and profound for years to come. That's just what they do.

String theory was never really a theory, it was hardly a hypothesis.

you're dead, kiddo

What areas of math do I study to start learning about the cool physics?
