Description | Our Masters of Arts program is distinct in its focus on applied social research with an emphasis on social justice. By “applied” we mean research that focuses on current societal concerns and with a view to problem-solving, or more generally, research that has some practical utility. By “social-justice” we mean research that promotes social equality and people’s democratic right to participate in decisions that affect their own and other’s well-being.
Emphasis on applied social research and the opportunity to study in either of Canada’s official languages are the program’s distinguishing features. Students learn to investigate social relation from variety of methodological perspectives and using a broad spectrum of research techniques. These can include participatory action research, critical analysis of official discourse and social policy, political economy, feminist research, program evaluation, institutional ethnography, critical statistical analyses, historical sociological approaches, human rights indices and assessments, and social impact studies. | | |
