Now accepting applications for an MA and PhD in
Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies
at Queen’s University for 2019-2020

Application deadline: January 31, 2020

Launched in the Fall of 2019, Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies is a collaboration between the Department of Film and Media<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fus20.mailchimp.com%2Fmctx%2Fclick%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.queensu.ca%252Ffilmandmedia%252F%26xid%3D4a35e40295%26uid%3D116169794%26pool%3D%26subject%3D&data=02%7C01%7Cd.vena%40queensu.ca%7C119720d470274fa39fc108d757e95353%7Cd61ecb3b38b142d582c4efb2838b925c%7C1%7C0%7C637074531964260424&sdata=Qlh1Bn0PY9PqkpLm99mdQdHtJyCO%2BubY64D6NQWvQy0%3D&reserved=0> and Agnes Etherington Art Centre<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fus20.mailchimp.com%2Fmctx%2Fclick%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fagnes.queensu.ca%252F%26xid%3D4a35e40295%26uid%3D116169794%26pool%3D%26subject%3D&data=02%7C01%7Cd.vena%40queensu.ca%7C119720d470274fa39fc108d757e95353%7Cd61ecb3b38b142d582c4efb2838b925c%7C1%7C0%7C637074531964270421&sdata=VxhS9amf%2F0Aimrrc1taX8Db8goBQNxNhzYScPhVn9xg%3D&reserved=0>, offering a unique opportunity for a funded one-year MA and a four-year PhD. The program’s three strongly interconnected areas of focus—studies, production, and curation —are designed to stimulate inventive dialogue in ways that ensure their respective influence, and in ways that open exciting points of access to multiple disciplinary formations.  This collaborative tripartite structure is not offered in any other film, media, cinema, art or communication Master’s or PhD program in Ontario.

These multidisciplinary programs provide students with a wide range of educational and professional opportunities, including academia, arts management, programming, media production (from mainstream media, to artistic and activist production), and curating.

A rich program of visiting scholars, filmmakers, artists, and curators -- in the core professional development and elective courses -- provide opportunities for practice-based learning, allowing students to integrate new knowledge gained from other graduate-level coursework and to implement newly acquired skills in and beyond the gallery, festival, and museum. A focused yearly Summer Institute brings together renowned scholars and practitioners, as well as Graduate students from other universities for an intensive and focused study program.

Exhibition space will be available to students at the Art & Media Lab in The Isabel Bader Centre, the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, the Union Gallery (on an application basis), and/or online, to accommodate curatorial projects. The Vulnerable Media Lab offers opportunities for restoration, remediation, and curation of media collections. The program offers seed funding for MA and PhD screen cultures curatorial projects (up to $350.00 per student). PhD students can also apply to the Dean’s project fund for up to $3000.
