[ecrea] Ph.D. program at Concordia University

Please do consider advising your students and others you know about the 
PhD in Communication program at Concordia University in Montreal.  The 
application deadline is February 1 2017.

Now in its 29th year of existence, Concordia's PhD in Communication 
program supports a broad range of research, including work in cultural 
studies, feminist media studies, media history, game studies, critical 
race studies, social and mobile media, sound studies, creative 
industries, rhetoric, media policy, popular culture, visual culture, 
religion and media, media and the environment, media and ageing, and 
critical disabilities studies. With a highly developed tradition for 
research-creation, our program provides advanced training in media and 
cultural analysis with a special emphasis on publicly and socially 
engaged practice.  Students in our program have produced award-winning 
research in the form of "traditional" scholarly theses as well as 
cutting-edge projects in research creation, from documentary films to 
interactive web-based projects, among other forms and formats.

Students can also to take advantage of the fertile research and media 
arts environment that makes Montreal a leading international destination 
for advanced study and practice in the fields of communication, media, 
and cultural studies.  As well, they can benefit from opportunities to 
teach undergraduate courses within our department, to improve their 
French, and other forms of support based on our emphasis on small class 
sizes and close individual mentoring.  Additionally, many faculty 
members in our department provide opportunities for research training 
through paid positions working on projects related to our various 
research initiatives, including those housed in Concordia's Mobile Media 
Lab, the Feminist Media Studio, the Media History Research Centre, the 
Montreal Signs Project, and the Technology-Art-Games (TAG) Centre.
