[spectre] Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies MA/PhD program (fully funded)

[Gabriel Menotti]

Hey folks!

I'm happy to share the call for Queen's University' graduate program on
Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies. The program is fully funded.

PhD placements for international (non-Canadian) students are few and
competitive, but there are always openings for international MAs
(one-year). I myself am looking for RAs for research projects on
"Computational Cinemas" and "The Emergence of New Media and Computer Arts
in Brazil."

On Oct 26 there will be an online info session with the coordinator. In
case you know anyone that might be interested, could you please help
getting the call to them?

Thanks!
Menotti

Accepting applications for an MA and PhD in

*Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies*

Queen’s University

Application deadline: January 31, 2024


Launched in the Fall of 2019, *Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies* is a
collaboration between the Department of Film and Media
<https://www.queensu.ca/filmandmedia/> and Agnes Etherington Art Centre
<https://agnes.queensu.ca/>, offering a unique opportunity for a funded
one-year MA and a four-year PhD. The program’s three strongly
interconnected areas of focus—studies, production, and curation —are
designed to stimulate inventive dialogue in ways that ensure their
respective influence, and in ways that open exciting points of access to
multiple disciplinary formations.  This collaborative tripartite structure
is not offered in any other film, media, cinema, art or communication
Master’s or PhD program in Ontario.

Housed in the state-of-the-art Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts
<https://www.queensu.ca/theisabel/about> and the Agnes Etherington Art
Centre <https://agnes.queensu.ca/>, the Master’s and PhD in *Screen
Cultures and Curatorial Studies* are unique because of their linkage to
adjacent disciplines: film and media studies and, more generally, the study
of screen cultures, film and media production, and curatorial studies and
practice. These multidisciplinary programs provide students with a wide
range of educational and professional opportunities, including academia,
arts management, programming, media production, and curating.

Faculty members <https://www.queensu.ca/filmandmedia/people-search> in the
program straddle scholarly, programming, curation and creative practices. A
rich program of visiting scholars, filmmakers, artists, and curators -- in
the core professional development and elective courses -- provide
opportunities for practice-based learning, allowing students to integrate
new knowledge gained from other graduate-level coursework and to implement
newly acquired skills in and beyond the gallery, festival and museum.

Exhibition space will be available to students at the Art & Media Lab in
The Isabel Bader Centre, the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, the Union
Gallery (on an application basis), and/or online, to accommodate curatorial
projects. The Vulnerable Media Lab offers opportunities for restoration,
remediation and curation of media collections. The program offers seed
funding for MA and PhD screen cultures curatorial projects (up to $350.00
per student). PhD students can also apply to the Dean’s project fund for up
to $3000.
