| Description | Our world faces pressing questions of global justice in relation to armed conflict, human migration, economic inequality and environmental change. To understand and address these issues, no single disciplinary perspective suffices. The MA in Global Justice, Religion and Culture is an exciting unique program that offers you a crucial interdisciplinary space for reflection on how religion intersects with these global issues.
Alongside questions of policy, the program fosters critical analysis of cultural and religious processes as well as their political implications in a globalizing world.
All students in the MA in Global Justice, Religion and Culture begin with two semesters of coursework. Thereafter, each student will follow one of four program options:
- The 12-month coursework option requires the completion of two additional electives offered by a Master's program within the Faculty of Arts at Laurier.
- The 12-Month MRP option remains the most popular program option and requires the completion of a Major Research Project supervised by a professor in Global Studies or Religion and Culture. Completion of the MRP includes an assessment of both the written component and the oral defence.
- The 16-Month Internship Option includes an Internship which will normally be conducted during the Spring semester and lead to a 16-month MA program, with no funding offered during the second Fall Term, during which the student writes their internship-informed MRP. Students who choose to pursue the internship option can speak with the Graduate Coordinator if they wish to complete the program in 12 months, instead of 16.
- A full-time, two-year, thesis-based option is available for those who wish to pursue a topic in greater depth. In the thesis option (in place of the major research project), students complete a thesis proposal by the end of their first year, and in the second year complete a thesis and an oral defence.
