*Fully-funded Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies MA/PhD Program*
- Queen’s University, Kingston, ON
- Application Deadline: January 31, 2025
- How to Apply: https://www.queensu.ca/filmandmedia/graduate/how-apply

Queen’s Department of Film and Media is pleased to invite applicants
interested in its Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies graduate program.
Launched in 2019 in partnership with the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, the
program offers one-year MA and four-years PhD degrees. The program’s
openness to research-creation methodologies makes it perfect for practicing
curators and artists who want to expand their horizons in a
multidisciplinary scholarly environment. Students are fully funded through
a combination of grants, teaching, and research opportunities. The program
also offers access to exhibition and screening facilities both in-house and
through partnerships with galleries, film festivals and artist-run centers
from all over the world. Extra support for student projects is available
through department seed funding and Queen’s Internal awards.

Housed in the state-of-the-art Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts,
the MA and PhD in Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies are unique because
of their linkage to adjacent disciplines: film and media studies and, more
generally, the study of screen cultures, critical theory, film and media
production, and curatorial studies and practice. 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.

The program’s three strongly interconnected areas of focus—studies,
production and curatorial practice—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 MA or PhD program in Ontario.

Faculty in the program bring together expertise in critical theory, visual
and media arts, performance, mixed reality, experimental film, and
installation. A rich program of visiting scholars, filmmakers, artists, and
curators 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.
