INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAM

Established in 2002, the MA Program in Communication and Social Justice is a unique, student-centered program that offers individuals a distinctive opportunity to pursue their scholarly interests in a vibrant, diverse and supportive environment. With a critical mass of faculty needed to advance the study of communication and social justice, the program promotes innovative and original thinking, research, and practice.

Over the years, the program has attracted the interest of students from many parts of the globe—including Africa, India, Thailand, China, Mexico, Latin America, Turkey, the Caribbean, the United States and Canada. Such diversity has contributed to the rich tapestry of graduate student culture and is also reflected in the research undertaken by former and current students. Students in the program have presented their work at major international conferences on a wide variety of topics. Several have also been recipients of prestigious scholarships awarded by the Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Graduates of the program have gone on to pursue doctoral studies, teaching and law careers, and employment opportunities in the public and private sectors. ADMISSION

See Section 1.6.1 of the Graduate Calendar for general admission requirements for graduate studies. See www.uwindsor.ca/graduate Normally, successful applicants require an Honors B.A. in Communication/Media Studies or a cognate field. Students lacking formal admission requirements but accepted to the program on the basis of equivalent experience may be required to enroll in a qualifying year prior to formal admission to the program.

Applicants should submit a portfolio consisting of the following: (i) a completed on-line application form; (ii) a statement of purpose (approximately 350-400 words) outlining the student’s interest in pursuing a graduate degree in Communication and Social Justice at the University of Windsor and potential area(s) of research concentration; (iii) a curriculum vitae; (iv) an official transcript of grades attained in all undergraduate courses; (v) two confidential letters of recommendation from post-secondary faculty members most familiar with the students’ work on official forms from the Faculty of Graduate Studies (letters, in addition to the forms, are preferred); (vi) a substantial sample of writing from upper-level undergraduate courses (do not submit papers with grades and/or professors' comments); and (vii) for students whose native language is not English, a minimum score of 620 on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or 7.5 on the IETLS (International English Language Testing System) is required. Only tests administered within two years prior to receipt of the application are valid.

Completed applications should be received by January 15 of each year. Highly qualified students (minimum 80% GPA overall or equivalent) will be considered for entrance scholarships upon formal admission to the program. Applicants should also refer to the University of Windsor on-line Graduate Calendar (www.uwindsor.ca/graduate) for further requirements, procedures and information. REGISTRATION

Registration for each semester (fall, winter, summer) is done through the web. All students must maintain continuous registration or receive permission for a leave of absence. Additionally, all students must be registered for a minimum of three semesters. See individual course descriptions for the course codes required to register. N.B. All course codes must be preceded by (02). For example, to register for 40-500, students must enter 02-40-500-01 in order to enroll in the course on-line.

Payment of Tuition Fees

Students are encouraged to consult the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research web page (http://www.uwindsor.ca/graduate) for current tuition, fee levels and payment options. Students who are holders of a GA/RA contract may have their tuition, campus residence, and food plan expenses deducted from their pay cheques by completing a Payroll Deferment form available at the Cashier’s Office in Chrysler Hall North at the beginning of each semester. See the Cashier’s website for information http://www.uwindsor.ca/cashiers/payment-options

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

The program is designed to ensure that most graduate courses (with the exception of 40-518, 40-543 and 40-590) will be offered in each academic year under normal circumstances. The courses coalesce around the theme of ‘Communication and Social Justice.’ While some courses may have a Political Economy orientation and others a Critical Cultural Studies orientation, the overall intent is to bridge these two major approaches to the study of communications in a cohesive and complementary manner.

Students must complete five courses, three of which are required (40-500, 40-501, and 40-502). Additionally, students prepare a major research paper that may evolve from one of the courses; presentation of the major paper defense is open to all faculty and students. Students may be permitted to complete a thesis, upon recommendation by a faculty member and approval of the graduate committee based on a performance evaluation at the end of semester one (see below for more information). Such students must complete four courses, three of which are required (40-500, 40-501, and 40-502).

All M.A. students must maintain an average of 70% or higher. A grade of 67% or less for any course in the Master’s Program normally signifies a failure for that course. Students may elect to repeat any course once if they receive a grade of less than 70%. A

4

June 2016

student with a grade point average of less than 70% for two successive terms will normally be asked to withdraw from the program.

The University expects that all researchers will adhere to the proper standards of intellectual honesty in the written or spoken presentation of their work, and will at all times acknowledge in a suitable manner the contribution made by other researchers to their work (Senate Policy on Authorship)

Plagiarism is the act of copying, reproducing or paraphrasing significant portions of one’s own work, or someone else's published or unpublished material (from any source, including the internet), without proper acknowledgment, and representing these as new or as one’s own. (Senate Policy on Student Code of Conduct, Section 3 (7).

If a student is suspected of plagiarism or any other act of academic misconduct, the matter will be dealt with according to the procedures outlined in Senate Bylaw 31 and its accompanying flowchart.

All MA students are required to submit a report detailing their progress through the program on May 31 of each year. The forms must be completed by the student and signed by their supervisor. Forms are distributed through the Graduate Secretary’s office.

GRADUATE COURSES

40-500 PRO-SEMINAR

An introduction to themes of social justice and the common good; media and democratic communication. The course will also facilitate the development of intellectual skills and include an exploration of procedures and requirements relevant to graduate study and intellectual life. Students will produce proposals and literature reviews for their major research paper or thesis projects.

40-501 CRITICAL THEORIES OF COMMUNICATION

A review of critical theories of communication in the context of social justice themes. Key topic areas include theories of commodification, ideology, cultural production and representation, art and politics, communication and democracy, information, and globalization.

40-502 GRADUATE RESEARCH METHODS

This course provides an overview and applications of a range of contemporary research methods in communication studies. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches will be examined in this course, but the course may focus primarily on one or the other type of approach to communication research

5

June 2016

40-512 COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS

Examines the use of traditional and non-traditional forms of communication that have been used within, and by, a variety of social movements and social formations. The course draws upon a combination of new social movement theory and critical media and cultural studies. Areas of focus will include the following: an assessment of (i) the contribution of new communication technologies to social activism and social movements; (ii) the representations of social movements in the context of political/economic/social change; (iii) the diversity and importance of alternative media as a central component of movements for social justice.

40-514 POLITICAL ECONOMY OF COMMUNICATION

The course examines the historical roots of critical political economy in relation to media and communication studies and explores contemporary applications of, and current issues in, the political economy of communication. Students will read a series of books and documentary materials which help to bring to light the role played by mass media in power relations and the social construction of reality. The texts will be examined from the perspective of critical political economists (such as Noam Chomsky).

40-515 MEDIA REPRESENTATIONAny range of media modes and texts, such as documentary, experimental film, music-video, feature films, television, and the emerging digital formats, may be examined in terms of their aesthetics, poetics, history, and cultural politics. Theoretical approaches to representational analysis and/or audience reception will be presented for critical reflection.

40-520 DIRECTED STUDY

The course is normally reserved for students not writing a thesis. With approval of the Graduate Chair, a student may undertake to write an original paper on a specialized topic that will enhance his or her program of study. The course will involve directed supervision of readings and informal discussion with the student’s course supervisor.

40-543 ADVANCED FILM THEORY AND CRITICISM

Films are explored under the broad rubric of cultural studies; specific theoretical approaches employed to analyze cinema are examined. Case studies of genres as the emergent effective mode of understanding films are taken up. Films selected may belong to the silent or classical period to the contemporary. The readings provide tools to analyze formal aspects and critical interpretative frameworks applied to examine films. Writing assignments forge links between the written and the visual and between theory and film texts. (3 hrs/week: once a month, class will be extended due to in-class film screening.)

June 2016

40-590 SELECTED TOPICS

Selected advanced topics in Communication Studies based on special faculty interests and opportunities afforded by the availability of visiting professors. Special topics courses are subject to Graduate Committee approval. (May be repeated for credit provided that the topics differ.) (3 lecture hours a week.)

40-796 MAJOR RESEARCH PAPER (See below for description)

40-797 THESIS (See below for description)

N.B. Students wishing to take a graduate course outside the program require special permission from the Graduate Chair of the MA Program in Communication and Social Justice as well as the instructor of the course. The Faculty of Graduate Studies must be notified in writing if the student intends to take a course outside the program to be counted as part of their degree requirements.

SCHEDULE TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM

The MA in Communication and Social Justice is designed to be a one-year (three full time semester) program. Students are therefore strongly encouraged to plan accordingly in order to complete all program requirements in that time frame. The following are a few steps that can help students achieve this goal:

(i) Plan to complete all course work over the Fall and Winter semesters. All students are strongly encouraged to register for three courses in the Fall. All students are required to successfully complete 40-500, 40-501 and 40-502.

(ii) Students should finalize their topic by the end of the Fall semester and should have their MRP/thesis committee in place by the end of week 6 of the Winter term.

(iii) Students must be registered for a minimum of three semesters on a full-time basis. Students must be enrolled in 40-796 (major research paper) or 40-797 (thesis) in the semester in which they intend to defend. Registration in 40-796 or 40-797 is considered full-time.

(iv) Students must file a Progress Report on May 31 of each year until they graduate. Progress Report Forms are available on the program’s website.

June 2016

MAJOR RESEARCH PAPER/PROJECT

Students will pursue the major research paper/project (MRP) option in order to fulfill the requirements for the Master’s degree; topics should be finalized by the end of the Fall Semester. Generally, the major research paper should be approximately 35-45 (double-spaced) pages in length and shall comprise scholarly research which provides evidence of intellectual rigour and which augments or enhances the reader’s knowledge of the topic investigated. The student may undertake the major research project as part of a course but the final piece of work must be publicly presented at an oral defense. This option requires two departmental committee members.

THESIS

On occasion, students may be permitted to pursue a thesis option only with special permission of the Graduate Committee, a faculty recommendation and based on a performance evaluation at the conclusion of the first semester. Students hoping to complete a thesis are encouraged to (i) successfully complete three courses in the first semester and achieve an 80% overall average; (ii) provide a 250-word rationale explaining the reasons for wishing to undertake a thesis; and (iii) submit a 2-page outline that summarizes the topic (i.e. research question) proposed theoretical/conceptual framework, and methodological approach.

If approved, the student will form a thesis committee consisting of two graduate faculty members from the Department of Communication, Media and Film and one graduate faculty member from an external department (i.e. Sociology, Political Science, etc.). At least two members of the committee must have graduate faculty status.

The thesis option requires the successful defense of a proposal (prior to the work commencing) and a public defense of the final project. The thesis proposal should be approximately 18-20 double-spaced pages (including bibliography) and should succinctly articulate the research question, provide a relevant review of literature and concisely explain the theoretical and methodological approach. The final thesis should be 60-70 (double-spaced) pages in length and shall provide an original contribution to the scholarly literature and evidence of intellectual rigour. For the Thesis option only, Master’s Committee forms must be completed, signed by all committee members, and submitted to the Graduate Secretary’s office. Forms are available from the Faculty of Graduate Studies website or the Graduate Secretary.

PREPARATION/ORAL PRESENTATION OF MAJOR RESEARCH PAPERS, THESES, ETC.

Major research papers and theses must be prepared according to the Procedures to Follow in Preparing a Thesis or Dissertation distributed by the Faculty of Graduate Studies (http://www.uwindsor.ca/graduate). The thesis/major research paper must follow the style of an established, standardized format (i.e. APA) approved by the thesis

8

June 2016

supervisor and should use gender neutral language. Format guidelines can be found at: http://www.uwindsor.ca/graduate/732/guidelines-major-papers-theses-and-dissertations

A copy of the completed thesis/major research paper must be submitted to each committee member and to the Graduate Secretary at least eight days before the oral defence. Once the defence copy is submitted, no changes to the document can be made until after the defence takes place. After the successful defence, and after any required revisions are completed, three bound copies of the finalized thesis, one of which must have the original signature page, must be deposited to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in order to graduate. One of the copies will become the property of the Department. M.A. theses/major research papers are graded on a Pass/Fail basis. Information about electronically depositing your thesis can be found at http://www.uwindsor.ca/graduate. Students may also opt to submit an abstract of their thesis to the Canadian Journal of Communication (CJC) after graduation. Please see the following web address for directions on uploading: http://www.acc-cca.ca/

9

June 2016

The graduate committee awards GAs according to the following priorities/considerations: pool of incoming students; academic standing and teaching needs. GAs may be assigned to conduct tutorials and/or assist individual instructors with course-related duties. All GAs are strongly encouraged to attend the campus-wide GA/TA Orientation Workshop held in September. The workshop is designed to familiarize the GA with the general teaching duties and regulations associated with holding an assistantship. The Department of Communication, Media and Film may also require additional training and/or workshop participation. FACULTY

Our faculty members are actively engaged in a diverse range of research areas. The department is large enough to provide a range of research areas and perspectives yet small enough to provide personalized support.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

http://www1.uwindsor.ca/graduate/frequently-asked-questions-for-graduate-students

What scholarships are available to graduate students at the University of Windsor?

20

June 2016

There are a variety of scholarships available to students who have first class standing (i.e.at least overall 80% Cumulative GPA or above). Scholarships for both Canadian and International students: students entering research-based programs with averages that meet or exceed the equivalent of a Canadian 80% may be considered for an entrance   scholarship currently valued at $6,000 per year (Doctoral) and $7,000 per year (Master's).

International students may also be eligible for scholarship and bursary support through programs based in or administered through their home country. We recommend that international students investigate potential sources of support prior to making an application to graduate school, noting that, in Ontario, tuition costs for international students are higher than those for Canadians and Canadian permanent residents (landed immigrants). 

There is no application form for these scholarships. These scholarships are awarded at the time of admission to students who qualify for them and as the Faculty of Graduate Studies budget allows. For additional scholarship opportunities, see Faculty of Graduate Studies website http://www.uwindsor.ca/graduate and/or the Student Awards and Financial Aid website http://www.uwindsor.ca/awards

Note: early application is strongly encouraged to be considered for scholarship support!

I am going to a conference to present the findings of my research. Are there any funds available to help with my expenses?

Currently the department will support students attending a conference with a small grant from the Reader’s Digest Fund. Allocations are based on the conference’s distance from Windsor. Students should submit an application with a brief description (300 words) of the conference and the rationale for attending, i.e., relation to student’s research. Contact the Graduate Chair for details if you plan to apply for or attend a conference.

Administered by the Faculty of Graduate Studies funds are available to full-time graduate students who have made presentations of their research at an academic conference. The amount of each reimbursement will not exceed $500.00 CDN for travel within North America, and $750.00 CDN for travel outside of North America.

How do I appeal a grade?

If you believe you received a lower grade than you deserved, you should first approach the instructor for an explanation or informal review of the grading process. If you are not satisfied with the results, and if you feel you have sufficient grounds to contest the grade,

21

you should file an appeal. All students have the right of appeal under Senate Bylaw 51. For more information, see the “FAQ” link on the Faculty of Graduate Studies website. http://www1.uwindsor.ca/graduate/frequently-asked-questions-for-graduate-students

How do I apply for a leave of absence from my graduate program?

All full-time graduate students are required to be registered on a continuous basis, including the summer term, but it is recognized that certain situations arise where a leave of absence from graduate studies may be necessary due to medical, financial, and other situations. For more information and necessary forms, see the Faculty of Graduate Studies website at www.uwindsor.ca/graduate.

I am hoping to defend and complete my thesis soon after the beginning of the term; do I have to register?

Students are expected to maintain continuous registration and even if you will be completing your thesis at the beginning of the term you should be registered. Tuition refunds are available depending on when you complete all your requirements. There are two phases of completion: Phase I - If you complete during the first 3 or 4 weeks into the term (the date varies by term) you will be entitled to 100% tuition refund.

Phase II - If you complete all your requirements by the end of the seventh or eighth week into the term (the date varies by term), you are eligible for 50% tuition refund.

Please see the following for important dates:http://www.uwindsor.ca/registrar/university-course-and-program-calendar

Do I have to apply to graduate?

Yes. You must apply on-line by logging onto the SIS (Student Information System). The deadlines for application are March 1st for June Convocation, and August 1st for October Convocation. There is a $25.00 non-refundable fee ($75 for late applications). Apply to graduate even if you have not completed all requirements for graduation, e.g. your thesis, by the application deadline. If you miss the deadline, consult your Program Chair.
