MA in Cultural Studies and Critical Theory
McMaster University
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

McMaster University has emerged in recent years as a national centre
for the study of Cultural Studies and Critical Theory, with many
faculty across a wide range of disciplines devoted to the critical
analysis of contemporary culture. The Canadian Association of Cultural
Studies was founded by faculty members at McMaster in 2002. The
Department of English and Cultural Studies offers a Combined Honours BA
degree in Cultural Studies and Critical Theory with a set of courses
that have been phased in since 1997. And in 2004 the University
appointed prominent cultural theorist Henry Giroux as the first Global
Television Network Chair in Communication.

Building on these strengths, McMaster launched a new MA in Cultural
Studies and Critical Theory (CSCT) in September 2005. The objective of
the program is to allow students to engage the heterogeneous body of
theories and practices associated with cultural studies and critical
theory in the critical investigation of culture. "Culture" here may be
understood to comprise the objects, texts, practices, theories and
concepts that have animated, shaped, and unsettled individual and
social experience both past and present. The MA in CSCT permits
students to examine a wide range of cultural forms and expressions,
from influential philosophical texts and avant-garde theoretical
reflections, to materials and practices that have been typically
overlooked in university study (e.g. television, cinema, cyberculture,
and the practices of everyday life). The program allows students to
engage in interdisciplinary research on topics such as gender,
sexuality and the body; class, race and ethnicity; postcolonialism,
diaspora, and globalization; identity, subjectivity, and
representation; community and justice; ideology and power/knowledge;
and technology and culture.

The MA serves as both a terminal degree that provides students with the
critical skills in writing and argumentation that prepare them to work
in a wide range of areas (education; social and cultural policy; arts
programming; radio, television and film; journalism, publishing and
editorial work; technical writing and new media design; public
relations and corporate communications; etc.) and as preparation for
further graduate work at the doctoral level. All full-time MA
candidates are offered a teaching assistantship so that they can gain
some of the training and experience necessary for jobs in teaching.
Scholarship funding to offset tuition costs is also available.

A list of course for this academic year can be found at:
http://www.humanities.mcmaster.ca/~english/courses/graduate/2007/TIMETABLE07_08.htm

In addition to coursework, McMaster holds a number of lectures,
screenings and other events that would be of interest to CSCT
students. Some of the speakers who have visited McMaster over the past
several years include Aijaz Ahmad, Étienne Balibar, Susan Buck-Morss,
Rey Chow, Wai Chee Dimock, Arif Dirlik, Donna Haraway, Michael Hardt,
Linda Hutcheon, Fredric Jameson, Naomi Klein, Ernesto Laclau, Stephen
Lewis, Masao Miyoshi, and Antonio Negri. There are also numerous
conferences held on campus, such as "Displacements: Borders, Mobility
and Statelessness," which will be held in Winter 2008.

Applications for the MA in CSCT should reach the Department of English
at McMaster no later than JANUARY 15, 2008.
