Cultural Studies is a Master of Arts program at Trent University that is interdisciplinary and theoretical in emphasis, focusing on contemporary issues in the arts, humanities, and social sciences from the perspectives of cultural and media theory. Students engage culture, theory, and politics through intensive discussion and substantive research projects. Coursework centres on a core seminar (CUST 5000Y) together with elective courses, with options for research-creation projects alongside traditional research. This coursework route follows the one-year stream, in which students complete a Major Research Paper; a separate two-year stream leads to a longer Master's thesis. Recent areas of research emphasis include nature, culture and technology, gender and the body, science as knowledge and discourse, social and political theory, and life in the Anthropocene. The program prepares graduates both for doctoral studies and for non-academic careers in fields such as teaching, media, law, and government service. Admission is competitive, with a single Fall intake and an application deadline of February 1.
