The PhD concentration in Media, Technology, and Culture 
places special emphasis on a materialist approaches to information 
technologies where understanding the technological underpinnings that 
have always affected how media have and will be designed, developed and 
culturally appropriated, are central concerns. This approach draws on a 
rich history of theoretical influences and methodological frameworks 
from humanistic and social scientific perspectives. The 
interdisciplinary methods taught draw on historical, critical 
theoretical, human-interactionist, sociological, political economic, and 
psychological modes of inquiry.


The new curriculum will add two courses:

INF3009H Theory and History of Media Technology
INF3011H Power, Media and Technology


The program will also be working with the McLuhan Centre for Culture and 
Technology to expand research possibilities and intellectual activities 
for PhD students.
