Graduate Studies
Dr. Pamela Brett-MacLean, and others associated with the AHHM Program, have supervised graduate students, acted as members of their supervisory committees and also served as internal and external examiners. Doctoral and master's students have included students enrolled in the Medical Sciences Graduate Program, and those completing graduate studies in other faculties and colleges associated with the University of Alberta.
Prospective graduate students who are interested in completing a medical / health humanities-focused dissertation at the University of Alberta can do so by applying to the department that is most relevant to their research area and developing a dissertation research topic that critically considers various connections between the arts, humanities, social sciences and medicine and health.
An Individual Interdisciplinary Program can also be proposed through the Faculty of Graduate Studies, when a student's proposed medical / health humanities research question “crosses over two or more disciplines and cannot be accommodated by an existing U of A graduate program.”
To learn about faculty members you may want to approach as potential advisors and supervisory committee members, please review departmental websites. The AHHM directory also lists faculty members who are active in exploring the arts and humanities, and social sciences perspectives in relation to health and medicine.
