Why Print Culture?

In the Print Culture program, students study and work alongside a group of faculty and other graduate students with shared critical and research interests.

• Students participate in a broader research community through visiting speakers, conferences and symposia organized around themes that develop out of the concerns of the program.
  • The program introduces students to and encourages ties with other national and international societies, including SHARP (Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing) and CASBC (Canadian Association for the Study of Book Culture) and cognate institutes and programs.
• Students with a Print Culture Designation have an advantage in applying to do the Directed Study in Special Collections and Rare Books under the supervision of one faculty member and one Library Special Collections staff member.
• The Print Culture specialization is designed to appeal both to students seeking to go on to doctoral studies and to those taking the MA as their final degree.
• Students graduating with a Print Culture specialization acquire a knowledge of related scholarly methods and pedagogical approaches, as well as instructional and research technologies, and develop proficiency in various modes of oral, written and digital communication.
• A number of graduates with the Print Culture Specialization have gone on to doctoral programs at major Canadian and American universities, and many Print Culture students have been recipients of major SSHRC fellowships and other external awards.
