MA in English at Brock University
Graduate Director Professor Martin Danahay, email mdanahay@brocku.ca
Type of Program: This Program includes a preferred Major Research Paper option and is designed to be completed in twelve months. A thesis option is also available under exceptional circumstances, with approval of the Graduate Director. The Major Research Paper option requires six courses plus a Research Paper; the Thesis Option requires four courses plus a thesis.
Program length: Twelve months
The Field
As mutually informing concepts, the terms of our Field “text,” “community” and “discourse,” suggest the power of texts to reflect and to shape both communities of origin and communities of reception. The Program also focuses critical attention on the kinds of negotiation - both material and theoretical - attending the production, performance and reception of texts. Literary and textual problems acquire richer significance when viewed in relation to the ways in which texts, both literary and non-literary, are produced and used in the often conflicting discourses that constitute the culture of a community.
The field is strongly supported by the Department’s research expertise. Department members are currently actively researching the intersections of texts, communities and discourses in a wide range of areas.
