PhD in Cultural Studies - Claremont Graduate University.
The Graduate Program in Gender, Feminist and Women's Studies offers an MA and a PhD to full-time and part-time students. Our Program is fundamentally interdisciplinary in formation and practice.
The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Steering Committee for the MSt in Women’s Studies, in consultation with faculties in the Humanities Division, and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff.
The Designated Emphasis in Feminist Theory and Resesarch affords graduate students in affiliated programs the opportunity to augment their Ph.D. in a given discipline with a specialization in Feminist Theory and Research. Typically a graduate student in good standing can enroll in Designated Emphasis in Feminist Theory and Research Courses.
Program Regulations. Intake into the program will be once per annum, in September. Admissions will be recommended by the Committee on Graduate Studies. Students must have completed a Master's degree in Women's Studies, Feminist Studies or Gender Studies with a strong feminist theory component, and an average grade of A- (80%) or higher.
In addition, the joint PhD programs have richly benefited the Department as a whole: undergraduates profit from PhD students’ teaching grounded in feminist pedagogy; faculty appreciate being able to engage in a sustained manner with an individual’s training in an interdisciplinary field; and students contribute to the production of knowledge in novel and creative ways.
