PhD - Doctor of Philosophy in English and Film

Wilfrid Laurier University

Our PhD in English and Film Studies provides students with the unique opportunity to pursue rigorous, specialized research in either Literary Studies or Film Studies, or to take advantage of the rich intellectual and theoretical confluence between the two disciplines.Our major fields of specialization are: Gender and Genre, Nation, Diaspora and Culture, Textuality, Media and Print StudiesThese fields reflect the ground-breaking scholarship of our graduate faculty who offer courses in both traditional and emerging areas, including period studies, memory studies, masculinity studies, transnational studies, Canadian studies, and Indigenous studies.The relatively small size of our program is an immense advantage to students who can expect one-on-one mentorship from faculty with respect to their research, pedagogical training, scholarship and professionalization. Our department is proud of its students’ excellent track record as holders of external scholarship and major award.
