| The MAP Interdisciplinary PhD program in Media and Artistic Research aims to equip students with advanced research skills and extensive knowledge in a specialized area of research-creation and/or scholarship. The target audience for the program is primarily students who have completed their MFA and/or MA education and have a strong interest in a research-focused career in the arts and/or education with a clear understanding of the relationship between artistic research, artistic practice and reflection.
The program provides an opportunity to expand the role of arts-based research to include, for example, areas of technology and science; social history; pedagogy; Indigenous and non-Indigenous consciousness and identity; and curation. It encourages students to consider innovative research questions that investigate new terrain beyond the traditional disciplinary boundaries by combining multiple theoretical and methodological frames, or to focus on research that addresses the scope and bounds of one discrete discipline.

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Students entering the PhD program must hold an MA or MFA from a recognized institution. Qualified applicants will be considered for admission to the program on the basis of academic standing and a proposal leading to a thesis (Path A), research-creation project (Path B), or hybrid research-creation/thesis project (Path C). The proposal must clearly demonstrate the need for supervision in more than one area of knowledge and must indicate the availability of resources and supervision in these areas. In addition to the proposal, applicants should submit appropriate supporting material (proposal, portfolio, sample of scholarly writing, etc., as indicated below) and a proposed format for their graduation project. An audition and/or interview may be required. Once students have begun course work a more detailed, formal proposal will be submitted to the supervisors and IDS Graduate Committee for approval.
