Master of Arts in Social Justice and Community Engagement (Major Research Project Route)

Program Overview

Our program fosters your ability to investigate and understand the root causes of the most pertinent social justice and environmental issues of our times. Through a combination of critical theory, methods, and an individualized community placement our Master of Arts (MA) program in Social Justice and Community Engagement (SJCE) engages students in the active promotion of social and environmental justice principles within our communities and around the world.


Learning Through Scholarship and Practice
Through coursework, an individualized community placement and either practice-focused courses or a major research paper (MRP), you'll develop knowledge that contributes to your own understanding of how to make change in the world, as well as the skills that facilitate the development of communities to undertake social justice and environmental work.


Community Placement
Your community placement is an opportunity for you to gain practical experience applying theoretical ideas about social and environmental justice in a community setting. Placements are determined by taking into consideration your interests and needs, including any accommodations, while ensuring that the community organizations receive benefits from the placement. The placement experience can provide valuable networking opportunities and job references, and can lead to potential employment.


Students work with a placement coordinator to secure a 120-hour community placement. Students often undertake their placements in Brantford and Brant County, but it is also possible to undertake a placement at organizations throughout Ontario and beyond. If you have an idea for an organization with which you would like to serve your placement, we will work with you to see if that is possible.
