Graduate Programs
The Department of English and Film Studies offers two graduate programs. We accept approximately 15 MA students and about 3-4 PhD students into our programs annually. All students are funded with a combination of Teaching Assistantships and competitive scholarships. A high percentage of our PhD students (64%) hold or have held external funding (OGS, SSHRC) in their years of study.
PhD students' research projects are diverse, including such topics as: Nigerian videos; Asian American Adoptee Literature; Arab North American Literature; Masculinity and the Gothic in Victorian Poetry; Contemporary 'Chick Lit'; Trauma and Memory in Holocaust Literature; William Godwin's Middle Novels; War in Early Hollywood Films; Ecocriticism and Indigenous Literature, Hollywood and Hong Kong Transnational Cinema; and Creative Art in Romantic Women Writers.
