Overview

Program Description In Cultural Studies at Trent University, students will explore the very foundations of the systems of belief that will determine future. This program offers an environment that encourages the kind of creative and critical thought that will prepare students for the challenges of the workplace, and for the opportunities of a rewarding life of cultural and political inquiry. Working with their fellow students and professors as part of a closely-knit community, students will read and reflect in their coursework, and then write a critical or creative project to take their thinking to the next level. Program options include a new one-year major research paper stream, or the traditional two-year thesis stream. The program invites proposals for academic projects, as well as for projects invested in research-creation, in which student’s artistic production plays a major role. Prepare for a career that requires informed, creative and dynamic perspectives or for Ph.D. studies. Study beyond disciplinary boundaries and collaborate with experts in their fields.
