New Graduate Program at the University of Regina
Master of Arts in Social and Political Thought
- The Graduate Program in Social and Political
Thought at the University of Regina is an
interdisciplinary Master’s degree program
anchored in the Department of Philosophy and Classics
and the Department of Political Science, with links to
other departments in the humanities, social sciences,
and fine arts. The program is directed by the
Committee for Social and Political Thought, which is
devoted to insuring that the program has the requisite
rigour and depth as well as flexibility, originality,
and imagination.
- The focus of the program is on ideas and their
expression in historical, cultural, social, and
political contexts. The emphasis is on problems,
issues, and concepts—such as liberty,
rationality, individuality, power, nature, gender, the
self, modernity, authenticity, hypocrisy, solidarity,
nationalism, romanticism, liberalism, relativism,
fundamentalism, colonialism,
post-colonialism—that lend themselves to a
variety of critical and theoretical approaches and
perspectives.
- The program should be of particular interest to
students with backgrounds in diverse areas such as
Philosophy, Political Science, History, Anthropology,
Sociology, English Literature, and Comparative
Literature
- The program provides students with excellent
preparation for doctoral research in both traditional
and interdisciplinary programs.
- The program is designed for completion in 18
months (including thesis).
- Generous student funding is available.
