Networked Imagination Laboratory

Dear all,

McMaster’s PhD program in Communication, New Media and Cultural Studies will begin accepting applications on November 15th for September 2021 admission. This program is one of the ways to engage with the Networked Imagination Laboratory!

The PhD in Communication, New Media, and Cultural Studies (CNMCS) is a joint program between McMaster’s Departments of Communication Studies and Multimedia (CSMM) and the Department of English and Cultural Studies (ECS). The program draws faculty members from CSMM and ECS as well as other departments in the Humanities to act as supervisors of CNMCS doctoral students.

Our many complementary strengths are in areas including new media arts, performance, communications governance, policy, and law, visual culture, digital culture, music/sound, gender and sexuality, critical race studies, Indigenous studies, postcolonial and diasporic studies, transnational culture and international communications, critical environmental studies, political economy, professional communication, and media analysis and strategy. Our program has the faculty and the facilities to support multiple media production practices, as well as more traditional dissertations.

Application deadline: January 15, 2021 (portal opens November 15th)
