Graduate Programs for Master's and Ph.D. Students
For students who wish to engage in primary research, the Graduate Program in Native Studies provides opportunities that lead to a M.A. or Ph.D. degree. Our graduate program offers opportunities for specialization in First Nation, Inuit and Métis histories, cultures, social and theoretical issues. Areas include: Aboriginal land, resource and constitutional rights; governance; politics; economic and ecological development; urbanization; identity; contemporary Aboriginal literatures; languages; gender; justice issues; post-colonial historiography and criticism. The graduate program reflects Aboriginal perspectives in teaching and research.
The Graduate Program consists of core courses and optional course offerings in other departments. It is a natural extension of the undergraduate program in Native Studies, however, students with undergraduate majors other than Native Studies will also be considered for admission if they have strong Native Studies-related backgrounds. The emphasis of the program is on research and therefore a thesis is a degree requirement.
Inuit filmmaker Zacharias Kunnuk adresses the Native Studies Graduate Colloquium. The weekly Colloquium series provides opportunities for graduate students to present their own research and to hear from some of the top academics and practioners in the field of Native and Indigenous Studies from across Canada and around the world.
