Cultural Studies: Texts and Cultures

The Master of Arts (MA) in Cultural Studies: Texts and Cultures is intended to give students an excellent grounding in cultural, literary, and textual studies.

This course-based MA offers a variety of courses that will introduce students to critical issues in the study of literary and textual cultures. Central to the field are the questions of what constitutes a text and how some texts come to be valued over others and how questions of value relate to the distribution of power and authority. Topics are studied in a seminar format.

Information about specific faculty research interests can be found on the Cultural Studies website at uwinnipeg.ca/cultural-studies and on the faculty member’s home departmental website.

The expected time to graduate is 12 months (full-time) or 24 months (part-time); maximum is 3 years.
