Migration & Ethnic Relations (MER)

The Collaborative Graduate Specialization in Migration and Ethnic Relations (MER) at 深夜福利站 brings together graduate students and faculty to study questions of migration, ethnic relations, cultural diversity, conflict, acculturation and the integration of migrants, from the perspective of various social science disciplines.

Entry into the collaborative specialization in Migration and Ethnic Relations is a two step process.

  • First, the student must be accepted into the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies (GSWS) Graduate Program.
  • Then the student applies to the Director of MER for final approval of admission to the collaborative specialization.
  • This is normally dependent on whether the research area of the student fits within the MER program.
Application for admission to the MER collaborative specialization may be made at the time of entry to GSWS, or within the first term of study.
Normal requirements for the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Graduate Program will be fulfilled. The course requirements for the collaborative specialization are as follows:

MA Program

  • (non-credit requirement)
  • Two half courses in the area (), including, if possible, one from GSWS from MER’s specified list of courses and one in a program other than GSWS from MER’s specified list of courses.
  • An Independent Research Project (IRP) and four additional GSWS half courses

PhD Program

  • (non-credit requirement)
  • Two half courses in the area (), including, if possible, one from GSWS from MER’s specified list of courses and one in a program other than GSWS from MER’s specified list of courses.
  • Four additional half courses chosen in consultation with the GSWS Graduate Chair/Faculty Advisor.

Students must fulfill the comprehensive examination requirements of the GSWS Program. The comprehensive examination requirement for MER may be satisfied through the development of a course outline in the area of Migration and Ethnic Relations. This course outline shall meet the objectives of the standard comprehensive requirement of the department. At least two of the members of the examination committee need to be associated with the collaborative specialization.

MA

The Independent Research Project must be in the area of Migration and Ethnic Relations. The advisor must be associated with the MER program, as well as being a departmental or affiliated member of GSWS.

Ph.D

The thesis must be in the area of Migration and Ethnic Relations. At least one member of the thesis advisory committee and the university examiner must be from the list of faculty associated with the collaborative specialization. The thesis advisor must be associated with the MER program, as well as being a departmental or affiliated member of GSWS.

GSWS students in the collaborative specialization in MER will be treated the same as students registered solely in the Graduate Program in GSWS with respect to financial support (including stipends, scholarships, teaching assistantships and travel grants) and access to departmental research resources.

At the conclusion of the program, students will receive a joint degree in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies and Migration and Ethnic Relations.
