The Graduate Diploma in World Literature is designed to highlight and give official accreditation to students’ transnational, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary literary expertise. Unique in Canada, this challenging graduate diploma can lead to prospective careers in a range of areas requiring a high level of cross-cultural literacy in this era of globalization, from government to the global creative industries.

Admission Requirements

The Graduate Diploma in World Literature can be obtained in conjunction with an MA or PhD degree in English, Humanities, or Translation Studies.

Diploma Requirements

Diploma students must successfully complete:

A compulsory three-credit course on the history and practice of comparative and world literature: Humanities 6157 3.0: Comparative and World Literature Seminar: History and Practice/Same as English 6157 3.0 and Translation 6157 3.0. This course is in addition to the requirements of an MA or PhD degree in English or Humanities, or of an MA in Translation Studies.
A capstone diploma research paper, elaborated with the advice of a Professor with specialization in the topic to be explored. This paper further develops expertise in world literature, and requires that students demonstrate the interdisciplinary, cross-cultural research and critical skills acquired throughout their world literature graduate diploma studies. The diploma research paper is marked by the primary advisor, then submitted to a second reader who also marks and comments, and then both reports are sent to the Graduate Program Director. This is also an additional requirement.
One course in cultural theory (three or six credits), to be chosen among the offerings of the Graduate Programs in English, Humanities, or Translation Studies. A list of available courses is given to students each year. While this course counts for both the degree and diploma, students enrolled in the graduate diploma must write a research paper that extends the discussion of cultural theory into the domain of world literature.
Three course-related research papers with a world literature perspective and content; or an MA major research paper or thesis; or a PhD dissertation with a world literature approach. While such work counts for both the graduate diploma and the degree program, students enrolled in the graduate diploma need to supplement their MA or PhD requirements with work done from a world literature perspective throughout their degree studies: the graduate diploma augments the degree requirements and allows students to receive accreditation for the added value of this specialized training.

It is recommended, but not required, that students complete a study period, research stay, or an internship in a country pertinent to their projects in world literature. The Graduate Program in English has an exchange program with Mainz University; �첥��Ƶ has an agreement with every university in France for “cotutelle” doctorates; �첥��Ƶ is an institutional affiliate of the Institute for World Literature, which meets for a month in cities across the globe every summer. More generally, York International has a large number of exchange agreements, summer programs, and internships that are available to graduate students:

Students are provided with a list of such opportunities for studies and internships abroad, and encouraged to take advantage of them.

255 Centre for Fine Arts	dburns@yorku.ca	yorku.ca/gradstudies/visual-art/

Visual Arts offers practice-based degree programs at master’s and doctoral levels, as well as participating in a joint program with the Schulich School of Business. Students can obtain their Master of Fine Arts in combination with a Master of Business Administration degree. Please see the Combined MBA/MFA/MA section of this Calendar for more information.

At the core of the MFA program in Visual Arts, individual creative research and art production is developed in conjunction with an evolving understanding of theoretical discourses and debates surrounding contemporary art and culture. Central to the program is independent studio research, which can be carried out in any medium or a crossover of more than one. Set within a university context, the MFA in Visual Arts is a five term program that seeks to provide students with the ability to think rigorously about their art practice and its relation to society as a whole. Along with Visual Arts faculty members, other �첥��Ƶ faculty members, guest artists, curators and critics also support the development of students’ projects.

The primary objective of the PhD in Visual Arts is to provide opportunity for advanced independent research that is integrated within the development of original studio practice, in all visual arts media. This four year degree leads to both development as a professional artist and higher qualifications for university teaching positions. Participants in the program develop new methodologies for reconciling the two sometimes conflicting forces of scholarly depth and art world professionalism. These objectives are achieved through a combination of coursework in the Visual Arts program and in the university at large, and two exhibitions of original work accompanied by contextualizing papers. Students must demonstrate maturity in research as recognized by the academic sector as well as by their peers in the art community. Supervisory committees in the program include artists, scholars and art world professionals so as to foster the best intellectual environment for meeting the program’s objectives.

Admission Requirements

MFA

PhD

Total MFA graduate enrolment is 18 to 20 students, 8 to 10 of whom are admitted each year. Those admitted to the program are a combination of recent graduates from university art departments or art colleges, and artists who wish to return to an academic milieu after a period of professional life. Graduates with an Honours degree in Visual Arts or its equivalent from a recognized University, normally with at least a B (second class) standing, may be considered for admission. Artists lacking the formal academic qualifications, but showing exceptional promise and accomplishment through their portfolio presentation, may be recommended for admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the discretion of the selection committee.

As the York MFA program in Visual Arts is designed to assist artists in developing a critical understanding of their work and its relation
to contemporary culture, the selection committee is interested in applications that indicate thoughtful and well-defined personal direction as evident in both the portfolio and the written statement.

Application

The requirements for a complete application, submitted online, to the MFA Visual Arts program at �첥��Ƶ are:
1) 20 images of recent work, with an information sheet corresponding to the works presented which gives the title, medium, size and date of each work. This sheet should also clarify whether/how the works are kinetic, installation, performative, computational, etc.
Video, film and electronic media may require a written synopsis for long works, and the role of the applicant in the production should be clear.
2) A written statement of intent (maximum 500 words) that includes a final paragraph on the applicant’s proposed studio research if
admitted to the program. This statement is a significant aspect of the application since applicants need to be able to express themselves in a coherent written form, and demonstrate an interest in contextualizing their personal research within contemporary critical debates on art.
3) Curriculum vitae.
4) Two academic letters of recommendation.
5) Academic transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended.

Application Package

Application is online. See Faculty of Graduate Studies website .
Note: All application material is submitted online. Please do not send anything by mail.

For any questions or inquiries, please consult the Visual Arts program website for contact information:

Selection Procedure

The applicant’s work and other documents are examined by two faculty members and one graduate student representing the studio area of the applicant’s primary choice. Frequently, additional faculty members from other studio areas examine the file at this stage. The files of those applicants with the highest recommendations are passed on for approval to the graduate executive (comprised of at least three faculty members, one elected graduate student and the Graduate Program Director of Visual Arts). The Graduate Program Director recommends admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

A Master of Fine Arts with a minimum “B” average is required for application to this program, or an MA with studio concentration, as well as presentation of a portfolio of works and a qualifying research paper (MFA thesis paper or comparable peer-reviewed article). Selection committees to adjudicate the submissions are comprised of graduate faculty members.

Proficiency in written and spoken English is required.

The PhD in Visual Arts is a program of professionalization for advancing artists who already have a significant body of work. This term refers to their level of interest in and commitment to the development of research methods for exploring questions related to their practice. We are treating the visual arts as a broad field of study and practice that has various specializations within it. Students in the PhD program identify the specializations most pertinent to their work.

Degree Requirements

MFA

PhD

MFA

All first year students must successfully complete three three-credit courses in contemporary theory and criticism: Visual Arts 5600 3.0: Contemporary Theory in the Visual Arts in term one and Visual Arts 5610 3.0: Theoretical Issues in Contemporary Art in term two, and Visual Arts 6020 3.0: Contemporary Visual Arts Summer Institute in term three.

All first and second year students must complete: a combined PhD/MFA Graduate Seminar: Visual Arts 5620/5640 3.0 (the seminar
is taken twice, as 5620 3.0 in term one and 5640 3.0 in term four, pass/fail); and Visual Arts 5650 3.0: Methods in Practice-Based
Research in term two.

First year MFA students are assigned a two-person supervisory committee composed of two faculty members from the program. In the second year, MFA students in Visual Arts engage in independent studio research and work with a supervisory committee composed of two faculty members from the program who are most able to address the students’ research needs and goals, as well as an outside member. This second year committee supervises the preparation of the thesis exhibition and thesis support paper and acts as part of the committee for the final oral examination.

Students are given a private studio at York during the five terms of the degree.

To graduate, each student must present a final solo thesis exhibition or performance, which is supported and elaborated by a written paper. The written paper should be 20 to 50 pages in length. At a final oral examination, both the art work and the written statement are defended.

Once the oral is passed, the student is required to provide the graduate program with a copy of the written support paper.

The MFA program can be completed on a full-time basis. Entry is fall term.

The expected degree completion time for full-time master’s students is 5 terms. Students must register and pay fees for a minimum of the equivalent of 5 terms of full-time study. All requirements for a master’s degree must be fulfilled within 12 terms (4 years) of registration as a full-time or part-time master’s student in accordance with Faculty of Graduate Studies’ registration policies.

PhD

Candidates for the PhD degree must successfully complete the following requirements:

3.5 graduate courses (21 credits) to satisfy degree requirements.
A combined PhD/MFA seminar is taken during the first term (three credits pass/fail), Visual Arts 5620 3.0: Graduate Seminar. Students take Visual Arts 5650 3.0: Methods in Practice-based Research in the second term (three credits). Students are required to enroll in Visual Arts 6020 3.0: Contemporary Visual Arts Summer Institute in term three (three credits) and Visual Arts 6030 3.0: Contemporary Visual Arts Summer Institute in term six (three credits). 1.5 additional graduate courses are taken during the first six terms from any program in the university including other fine arts graduate programs (9 credits).

The annual Contemporary Visual Arts Summer Institute is a key facet of the program. It includes a two-week residency with prominent international artists and theorists, drawing on the Toronto and international art communities for distinguished guests to give public lectures and hold seminars. In this way, the PhD in Visual Arts program acts as a catalyst for the interplay between professional research and the innovative activities of professionals. It forms a network of professional relationships between Canadian and international researchers operating within and beyond fine arts university communities. Written work is required from students and comprises course credit for the Summer Institute.

In addition to the courses, the program requires: an oral comprehensive examination during the fifth term, a dissertation proposal submitted no later than the end of sixth term and a final dissertation exhibition and written paper completed preferably by the eleventh term (second term of PhD IV).

The oral comprehensive examination is comprised of a self-curated survey exhibition of the candidate’s previous work and a 20 page statement that positions the work in relation to contemporary theoretical considerations and art practices. The examination takes place at the exhibition venue. Questions relate both to the candidate’s work/statement and those of a more general nature arising from the Summer Institute. It is expected that this examination enables the student to reflect on the nature of their past work and to formulate the direction of their upcoming work that is detailed in their dissertation proposal.

The dissertation proposal is normally approximately fifteen pages in length as well as a bibliography. It outlines the nature of the proposed studio work; the theoretical /critical areas that inform it through a survey and précis of the pertinent texts; describes how these ideas integrate with the studio work; proposes a series of research questions that are examined in the final thesis; and confirms the venue for the upcoming dissertation exhibition.

Students must complete an individualized exhibition-based comprehensive examination. They must defend a dissertation that presents their research in the form of a significant solo exhibition, accompanied by a dissertation research support paper related to the exhibition.

To enable each student to assume the program of work from the time of their entry, a pro-tem supervisor is determined in relation to the research interests as well as the media focus that are expressed in the candidate’s application. The pro-tem supervisor guides the student in the formation of the supervisory committee. Each student is required to choose a two-person committee by the end of the second term, consisting of a supervisor and a second member who are both from the PhD program. A third committee member from the art world community, i.e., a curator, artist, or critic is selected by the end of the fifth term (second term of PhD II). They are a member of the oral comprehensive examination committee and continue as a member of the supervisory committee for the final two years of the program of study.

In years two to four of study, each candidate is given a private studio at York. In the first year, candidates are provided with office space. In addition, candidates with the necessary experience/training, have full access to all Department of Visual Art and Art History studio facilities (e.g., sculpture, print, photo, video) during their time in the PhD program. Students whose program of study extends beyond spring of PhD IV (term 11) are required to maintain an independent studio space off campus.

The PhD program can be completed on a full-time basis. Entry is fall term.

The PhD in Visual Arts is normally completed in a maximum of four years. Doctor of Philosophy students must register and pay fees for a minimum of the equivalent of six terms of full-time registration. All requirements for a doctoral degree must be fulfilled within 12 terms (4 years) of registration as a full-time or part-time doctoral student in accordance with Faculty of Graduate Studies’ registration policies.

The Graduate Program in Translation Studies offers courses and opportunities for advanced studies leading to the degree of Master of Arts in Translation Studies. It allows students to expand their knowledge on specific translation-related areas and to engage in a critical reflection on the role of language and translation in our contemporary world. The graduate program was established in 1991, in response to the increasing complexity of the translation-related language sector in Canada and to the growth of translation studies as a scholarly field. Through the years the program has maintained its original objectives while broadening its scope. Building on the Canadian experience of French-English translation, the program also welcomes students with a variety of backgrounds and language combinations. It is open to students who hold undergraduate translation degrees and to applicants from other fields who have demonstrated translation training and experience. The Graduate Program in Translation Studies invites research on translation from various perspectives and fields of knowledge and practice. It prepares students for research in Translation Studies and offers on average two practical courses per year.

The program can be undertaken on a part-time or full-time basis. For full-time students, it is a two-year program. Courses are offered at Glendon College, �첥��Ƶ’s bilingual Faculty, close to Toronto city centre. Seminars are offered in English or in French. The average number of students taking courses at Glendon is 2,000 with some 200 at the School of Translation, including an average of 50 students in the MA program. Such small numbers are a guarantee of a more individualized learning environment, which is very valuable for research and studies at a higher level.

Colloquium

Professional Placement

Students are required to set up a working professional placement of at least 75 hours as part of Theatre & Performance Studies 5051 3.0. This course is designed to give graduate students applied, professionally-oriented work experience in a field related to one of the program’s fields of specialization and/or the student’s research areas (e.g., production dramaturgy, assistant directing, education and outreach, publicity and marketing, producing). The assignment is supervised by a member of the graduate theatre studies faculty (often the Graduate Program Director) in association with an on-site supervisor/mentor. The arrangement for a placement is normally initiated by the student, who first presents a written outline of the placement proposal to the Graduate Program Director for approval. After approval is obtained the student should contact the institution to set up their schedule. The exact nature of the assignment is worked out and agreed upon by the team of student, faculty advisor and on-site supervisor. The course grade (pass/fail) is determined by the faculty supervisor in consultation with the on-site supervisor. The average number of working hours for a three credit placement is 75-90 hours and there is normally no remuneration involved.

The MA program can be completed on a full- or part-time basis. Entry is fall term.

The expected degree completion time for full-time master’s students is 3 terms; part-time students are expected to complete within 6
terms. For those students who complete degree requirements earlier than 3 terms, they must register and pay fees for a minimum of the equivalent of 3 terms of full-time study. All requirements for a master’s degree must be fulfilled within 12 terms (4 years) of registration as a full-time or part-time master’s student in accordance with Faculty of Graduate Studies’ registration policies.

PhD

Normally completed in a maximum of five years, the PhD in Theatre & Performance Studies requires completion of the following:

Students must successfully complete 18 credits in coursework, normally within the first two years (six terms) of study, as follows:

a research methodology course of at least three credits from a list of possible options provided by the program (these change each year);
a minimum of two courses (six credits), one of which must be a Canadian course with “theatre” in its title and the other of which must be a Theatre & Performance Studies course that aligns with program’s fields; and,
remaining coursework chosen from graduate-level Theatre & Performance Studies courses or approved graduate-level cognate courses.

Students are required to attend a bi-weekly non-credit colloquium during the first two terms of study. At the colloquium, research approaches are discussed, guest speakers from across the program and the university are brought in, and in-process presentations of each graduate student’s research work is shared. Students are evaluated on a pass/fail basis.

PhD students entering the program who have not had extensive professional work in theatre and/or a related area may be required to set up a working professional placement of at least 75 hours as part of Theatre & Performance Studies 5051 3.0 (students are evaluated on a case-by-case basis upon entering the program). This course is designed to give graduate students applied, professionally-oriented work experience in a field related to one of the program’s fields of specialization and/or the student’s research areas (e.g., production dramaturgy, assistant directing, education and outreach, publicity and marketing, producing). The assignment is supervised by a member of the graduate theatre studies faculty (often the Graduate Program Director) in association with an on-site supervisor/mentor. The arrangement for a placement is normally initiated by the student who first presents a written outline of the placement proposal to the Graduate Program Director for approval. After approval is obtained the student should contact the institution to set up their schedule. The exact nature of the assignment is worked out and agreed upon by the team of student, faculty advisor and on-site supervisor. The course grade (pass/fail) is determined by the faculty supervisor in consultation with the on-site supervisor. The average number of working hours for a three credit placement is 75-90 hours and there is normally no remuneration involved.

Taken in the Summer term of the second year of graduate study, this examination is intended to ensure students’ familiarity with and ability to identify core ideas in the texts and identify key debates in the fields of theatre and performance studies. It also aims to test knowledge of a student’s chosen research and teaching areas to verify sufficient grounding in scholarship relevant to a student’s area of research, particularly the dissertation topic.

The examination consists of three sections, each based on a list of thirty texts for a total of ninety. List One, the “Theatre & Performance Studies Field List,” is a set list of texts (dramatic and performance theory; theatre and performance history and historiography, dramatic literature, performance texts, etc.) designed to assess the candidate’s overall command of several key theories, controversies, and debates in the field with the goal of equipping students to teach in theatre and performance programs. The second list, the “Dissertation Research Area – General List,” reflects the broader area in theatre and performance studies in which the dissertation is situated (e.g., Canadian theatre, performance theory, actor training methods, performance art, postcolonial theatre, physical and devised theatre). Each text speaks to the relationship between the student’s specialized interest and the broad field of theatre and performance studies. The student chooses the 30 texts on this list in consultation with the comprehensive examination committee. The final list, the “Dissertation Research area – Specific List,” is specifically related to the dissertation and may be outside of theatre and performance studies (e.g., site-specific performance, feminist and queer theory, cultural geography, arts and cultural policy, autobiographical theory). The texts on this list directly inform the dissertation. The list of materials is chosen by students in consultation with the supervisory committee and submitted to the Graduate Program Director for approval.

The comprehensive examination is comprised of a take-home examination, normally taken during the summer term of the second year of doctoral study. Students have two weeks to write three 12-15 page responses to three essay questions. Questions are developed with input from students, who propose three possible questions for each list, for a total of nine questions. The questions are a starting point for the examination committee, who revise and adapt them in consultation with students. At the time of the examination the committee chooses one question per list for the examination; students learn which questions have been chosen at the start of the examination.

Upon successful completion of the written examination, the student is asked to meet for an oral examination approximately one week after the results have been transmitted. The committee meets with the student for approximately 90 minutes, during which students is expected to answer follow-up questions arising from the written examination as well as other questions the committee deems appropriate.

No more than three months after the successful completion of the comprehensive examination, students are required to submit a dissertation proposal, following the program’s dissertation proposal guidelines to the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Proposal guidelines are outlined in detail on the program website and in the program handbook. The dissertation proposal is developed in under the direction of the supervisor and supervisory committee. In order to ensure timely submission of the proposal, students should plan to submit a draft to their supervisor and supervisory committee no later than six weeks after the comprehensive examination.

The dissertation must embody the results of original research with significant value for the study of theatre and performance and must be successfully defended at an oral examination, normally by the end of year 5 (term 15).

If the dissertation topic requires work in another language as deemed by the supervisory and supervisory committee, students must demonstrate reading proficiency in that language by the end of year three (term 9).

The PhD program can be completed on a full- or part-time basis. Entry is fall term.

The PhD in Theatre & Performance Studies is normally completed in a maximum of five years. Doctor of Philosophy students must register and pay fees for a minimum of the equivalent of six terms of full-time registration. All requirements for a doctoral degree must be fulfilled within 18 terms (6 years) of registration as a full-time or part-time doctoral student in accordance with Faculty of Graduate Studies’ registration policies.

The Graduate Program in Theatre is a conservatory program set in the atmosphere of a multifaceted university. York’s program is unique in Canada and one of the very few of its kind and intensity in North America. Its fundamental mission is to help each student/artist fulfill her or his own potential as a creator.

The program rests on the principle that professional training in theatre is most effectively carried out in an atmosphere that approximates the profession to which the students aspire.

The program investigates the nature of the art and the skills needed for performance in today’s theatre, film and television industries. The program is geared to the advanced student who has a dedication to craft and performance-creation; to the highly talented student right out of undergraduate school; and to the professional in need of re-evaluation and a fuller understanding of the art form. The purpose of the training is to involve the developing artist in intensive explorations under the guidance of leading experts and specialists from the theatre department faculty, from across Canada and from the international theatre community.

The Graduate Program in Theatre at �첥��Ƶ is located in one of North America’s major centres for theatrical film, television and media production.

Students may obtain their Master of Fine Arts in combination with a Master of Business Administration degree. Please see the Combined MBA/MFA/MA section of this Calendar for more information.

The graduate program consists of a highly select group of up to twelve actors, four directors, three playwrights, two voice teachers, two acting teachers and two movement teachers.

Performance students focus their studies on preparation for the work they will encounter in the profession. Day to day training includes vocal, physical, and emotional work, improvisation, textual preparation, language preparation, mask work, clown work and scene study.

Directing students learn an appreciation of the craft of the actor by participating in some of the actor training. They take part in directing workshops and study approaches to research. They direct productions for the department.

Playwriting students. The objective of the playwriting area is to develop imagination and powers of observation, to stretch the playwrights’ reach and to help them discover a wide variety of options.

Design students. The design for performing arts field supports the development of committed professionals as master designers for theatre, dance and opera who understand the need to re-examine existing theatre practices and, while retaining their artistic and intellectual goal, do so in a sustainable and ecological manner.

Voice Teacher Diploma students.*
*This graduate diploma is not accepting new registrants. In addition to the actor training, the voice teacher diploma candidates engage in weekly seminars, observations, assist senior faculty and teach under supervision. The training includes voice, voice science, anatomy and physiology, language, speech sounds, phonetics, dialect, coaching techniques, and traditional and non-traditional approaches to voice.

For all students the first year of the program consists primarily of intensive studio work leading to a final project. The summer session is devoted to research, and the second year leads to a repertory of plays.

The Graduate Program in Sociology, which offers both MA and PhD degrees, is primarily designed for students interested in pursuing academic and research careers. The curriculum is intended to develop both disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary breadth. Students are given ample opportunity to specialize but the program believes that specialization should also be accompanied by a thorough grounding in classical and contemporary theories and proficiency in a variety of research methods.

Areas of Concentration

While the Graduate Program in Sociology is oriented to providing a broad theoretical and methodological training, thematic clusters also permit students to focus their studies in certain areas such as: global sociology; culture and identities; nature/society/culture; critical social theory; and processes, practices and power. These clusters are synergistic and interdisciplinary, with linkages to area studies, research projects, and thematic studies that enhance research in their fields. They allow students to take advantage of a rich array of intellectual resources and to participate in collaborative research clusters.

Supervisory Committees

Each student’s program of study is undertaken in consultation with a two-person (for MA students) and three-person (for PhD students) supervisory committee which is responsible for advising students and evaluating their overall progress. These committees are formed by the student, normally by the end of the first year of study. Committees file progress reports in the graduate program office at least once a year.

See for regulations concerning the composition and approval of these committees.

Research Facilities

Both the University and the Graduate Program in Sociology offer a wide variety of resources. The Resource Centre for Public Sociology supports faculty and students engaging in teaching and research in public sociology. The activities of this Centre link the university with local, national and global communities. In addition, a number of organized research units exist within the university with whom graduate faculty members and students in sociology are associated. Many of these institutes have specialized libraries and other resources. Some of the Organized Research Units of interest are the Centre for Feminist Research, the Centre for Refugee Studies, the Centre for Research on Latin America & the Caribbean, the Institute for Social Research, the Jack & Mae Nathanson Centre on Transnational Human Rights, Crime & Security, the York Centre for Asian Research, the City Institute, and the Global Labour Research Centre.

Application Procedure

Because the number of places in the program is limited, students should apply as early as possible. Students should apply by the deadline published in the material available from the Graduate Admissions Office for first consideration, although in certain circumstances late applications may be considered if space is available.

The program is carefully constructed to cover foundation areas of legal knowledge, regulation, human rights and social justice.

The program is designed to give students the knowledge and skills to enter the areas of human rights, immigration, social policy, and transnational governance. Graduates of the program acquire an appreciation of law, justice, and rights that not only transcends conventional disciplinary boundaries, but also engages with the complexity of emerging legal regimes in Canada and internationally. The specially designed curriculum is created to enable master’s students to complete the program in only one year.

The PhD in Socio-Legal Studies is the first doctoral program in Canada in interdisciplinary legal studies that is not based in a law school. While the academic foundation for the program rests on the contributions of scholars from a number of different disciplines, its scholarship can be distinguished from these disciplinary approaches by its greater attention to theory, methods, and substantive areas that focus on law and legal regulation as prime objects of investigation.

Research and teaching in this graduate program are organized around three core fields. These fields reflect the diverse teaching and research of socio legal studies, and the strong analytical and theoretical orientation of the program, while allowing for student research in a variety of substantive topic areas:

Central to this field is the recognition that law and society are mutually constitutive, that is, law is not an external force to which society is subject, but rather represents a dynamic set of codes, practices, categories and deliberations that both shape and are shaped by broader social, political, and economic logics, contexts and relations. This field also comprises theoretical perspectives on the relationship between law and society informed by sociology, history, philosophy, economics, anthropology, political science and psychology.

Analysis of contemporary modes of security, regulation, and governance, their intersections with various forms of law, and their role in shaping individual and collective practices, identities and fortunes through designations of illegality, criminality and disorder. Included within this field is a wide range of substantive areas including, but not limited to: transnational policing; financial crime; immigration and borders; and police, courts and corrections.

Studies of the variations of law across time, place and culture. Included are various approaches to the social history of law and legal regulation, as well as the analysis of indigenous forms of law, human rights regimes and both national and transnational forms of regulation and policing.

Admission Requirements

MA

PhD

The Graduate Program in Socio-Legal Studies seeks a high calibre of students. To be considered for admission as a Master of Arts candidate a student must have completed an honours degree program or equivalent from a recognized postsecondary institution, with an academic average of no less than a B+ over the last two (2) years of academic work.

In consideration of satisfactory studies and/or other relevant experience, letters of recommendations three (3), sample of written work (maximum 25 pages) and a statement of interest (maximum 500 words) will also be taken into account.

Proof of language proficiency is required for applicants who do not meet one of the following criteria:

Their first language is English; OR,
They have completed at least two (2) years of full-time study at an
accredited university in a country (or institution) where English is
the official language of instruction.

A minimum Test of English as a Foreign Language score of 600 (paper based) or 250 (computer based) or York English Language Test score of Band 1 or equivalent is required.

Applicants for the PhD program must have a master’s degree with a minimum B+ average from a recognized university, with a
minimum B+ average, or the equivalent, in a relevant social science or humanities program (e.g., sociology; criminology; law and society; political science; women’s studies; history; philosophy).

In addition, all applicants must:

submit a recent research paper or report to indicate ability in writing and research.
submit a statement of interest providing evidence of commitment to advanced work in socio-legal studies. The statement should include a discussion of the applicant’s background, interests, skills, and career goals, along with a proposed program of study.
submit three letters of reference.
for students whose first language is not English, have a minimum Test of English as a Foreign Language score of 600 (paper based) or 250 (computer based); or York English Language Test score 1.

Applicants are assessed on the basis of academic achievement and potential and/or demonstrated capacity for advanced work in an applied area. The submitted research paper or reports and the statement of interest provide a basis for evaluating that potential.

Students enrolled in the �첥��Ƶ Socio-Legal Studies master’s program wishing to apply to the doctoral program must do so through the admissions office. Students must have completed the MA before entering the PhD program.

All incoming MA and PhD students are assigned (based on common research interests) a faculty advisor who provides advice on program requirements (including course selection) and, most importantly, assists students in selecting permanent supervisors and supervisory committees. This formal advisory function is intended to help ensure a smooth transition from the initial point of entry into the program to the establishment of a full supervisory committee.

Degree Requirements

MA

PhD

MA Degree by Major Research Paper

The program is offered on a full-time basis only and the recommended time of completion is one year. Candidates for the MA degree must satisfactorily complete the following requirements:

Students must successfully complete eighteen (18) course credits as follows:

a) Required Courses (9 credits):
Socio-Legal Studies 6000 3.0: Law and Social Theory;
Socio-Legal Studies 6005 3.0: Advanced Research Strategies in Socio-Legal Methods; and,
Socio-Legal Studies 6100 3.0: MA Major Research Seminar.

b) Elective Credits (9 credits):
Students must successfully complete nine (9) elective course credits from the program’s approved courses. With the permission of th Graduate Program Director, a maximum of 6 elective credits may be taken in another graduate program.

Candidates are required to write a major research paper on an approved topic. Papers should be comprised of original material of a scholarly nature, demonstrating that the student is capable of independent research and critical analysis and must be of publishable quality. As a research project, the major research paper is generally narrower in scope, less complex in methodology and/or less ambitious in data gathering and analysis, than a thesis. Students are required to submit a proposal for their major research paper by the end of their second term—a version of which will be presented to their fellow students in the context of the Major Research Paper Seminar. The major research paper should be approximately 50 double-spaced pages (i.e., 10,000 words) in length. The paper is supervised by a core faculty member from the program. Upon completion, the paper will be read and evaluated by the supervisor and another reader selected from among the graduate faculty.

In addition, students must attend twelve (12) lectures as part of the program’s Speaker Series.

The MA program shall be completed on a full-time basis. Entry is fall term.

PhD

Candidates for the PhD degree must fulfil the following requirements, in addition to the completion of a dissertation.

Students must successfully complete eighteen (18) course credits as follows:

a) Required Courses (9 credits):
i) Socio-Legal Studies 6000 3.0: Law and Social Theory;
ii) Socio-Legal Studies 6005 3.0: Advanced Research Strategies in Socio-Legal Methods;
iii) Socio-Legal Studies 7100 3.0: Dissertation Proposal Seminar (offered every other year).

MA students who advance to the PhD (conditional on their acceptance into the PhD program) are not required to repeat the core theory and methods courses. These courses are replaced by 6 elective credits. Students coming from other universities must complete the core theory and methods courses.

b) Elective Credits (9 credits):
Students must successfully complete nine (9) elective credits from the program’s approved courses. With the permission of the Graduate Program Director, a maximum of 6 elective credits may be taken in another graduate program.

In addition, students must attend twelve (12) lectures as part of the program’s Speaker Series.

a) Theory Requirement
The purpose of the theory examination is to prepare the student to develop the breadth of knowledge necessary to teach an introductory course in Socio-Legal Studies.

Fulfillment of the theory requirement is met through an oral examination. The oral exam is expected to be 90 – 120 minutes in length. Students are responsible for a reading list of twenty books (or equivalent), of which ten to fifteen are to be selected from the program’s common list and the remainder from a list of works in the student’s area of interest. The reading list is chosen in consultation with, and approved by, the students’ comprehensive committee.

b) Substantive Requirement
The area of specialization and the readings to be reviewed are decided by the student in consultation with their committee. Fulfillment of the substantive requirement is met through written work followed by an oral defence. The written work can take two forms:

i) A review of research in an area of specialization that is related to the dissertation. The reading list is comprised of 20 books or equivalent. After reading the approved list for the substantive comprehensive, the student, in consultation with the comprehensive committee, submits 3 to 5 questions based on the readings to her/his comprehensive committee. The comprehensive committee selects 2 of these questions, which may be revised as the committee sees fit. These questions are given to the student on an agreed-upon date. The essays are due two weeks later, and respond to the questions posed.

Each essay (approximately 20 pages each) should demonstrate an understanding of the relevant literature, the different theoretical approaches used to interpret empirical research and an awareness of major debates in this site of research as well as major gaps in theory and research.

ii) An outline of an advanced undergraduate course in a chosen area to include: an academic rationale for the organization of the course providing broad coverage of the field; a rationale for the particular selection of topics; and a list of twenty-four two hour lecture sessions, with readings to accompany each session. Also, students write the full text of a lecture on one of the topics in the course, to be chosen in consultation with the comprehensive committee. This written lecture should be approximately 25-30 pages.

The substantive comprehensive, whether completed as option (i) or (ii), will be subject to an oral defence, to be scheduled within 2 weeks of receiving the essay or course & lecture. The defence is expected to be 90 to 120 minutes in length.

A comprehensive requirement is considered passed if no more than one member of the committee casts a negative vote.

Doctoral dissertations shall be on a topic approved by the student’s supervisor and supervisory committee, and shall include submission and approval of a dissertation proposal, including appropriate ethics review and approval, in accordance with Faculty and program requirements and procedures.

The doctoral dissertation must embody original work conducted while in program, and must constitute a significant contribution to knowledge. It should contain evidence of critical understanding of the relevant literature. The material embodied in the dissertation should merit publication.

Students must consult with the Graduate Program Director regarding the formation of their three-person supervisory committee. Students will normally have a supervisor on record by the end of term five.

The PhD program shall be completed on a full-time basis. Entry is fall term.

The normal expectation of students is that they complete their coursework, speakers series requirements and comprehensive examinations within their first two years and complete their doctoral proposal by the end of term seven (the first term of year three). The program expects students to complete their dissertation (including an oral defence) by the end of the fourth year. In total, the PhD should take four years.

Doctor of Philosophy students must register and pay fees for a minimum of the equivalent of six terms of full-time registration. All requirements for a doctoral degree must be fulfilled within 18 terms (6 years) of registration as a full-time or part-time doctoral student in accordance with Faculty of Graduate Studies’ registration policies.
