UBC Theses and Dissertations

Open collections, limit this search.

The UBC Theses and Dissertations collection promotes open and comprehensive access to a significant body of unique knowledge created by graduate students to support further research and for private study. The authors retain copyright ownership and moral rights to their theses. The content of theses may not be re-purposed or exploited for commercial gain without the explicit permission of the authors.

UBC graduate students began submitting their theses online via cIRcle, UBC’s digital repository, in fall 2007, a practice that both simplified the submission process and also ensured the availability of this research to a global audience in a timely manner. As of March 2012, UBC Library has digitized and made openly accessible the full-text of more than 32,000 theses submitted by graduate students between 1919 and 2007. In addition to providing information about specific fields of study these theses also reveal important information about changes in pedagogy at the University and within academic disciplines. Authors concerned about having their pre-2007 theses included as part of this collection can notify [email protected] to have their thesis removed. Similarly, if copyrighted material appears in a thesis the copyright owner can request that material be removed.

All UBC graduate students are required to submit their thesis or dissertation to cIRcle, UBC Library’s openly available digital repository, which currently holds more than 51,000 UBC theses and dissertations dating back to 1919.

If you’re a graduate student ready to submit your thesis or dissertation, we’ve outlined key steps on cIRcle’s Theses and Dissertations page . In this blog post, we’re highlighting some essential tips for a smooth process.

Who can help if I have questions?

Though cIRcle is the repository for UBC theses and dissertations, your Graduate Studies website is the first place to go for any questions about deadlines, preparation (including delay of publication & formatting), and submission (including account activation).

If the website does not answer your questions, UBC Vancouver students may contact Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS, [email protected] ), while UBC Okanagan students may contact the College of Graduate Studies (CoGS, [email protected] ).

Thesis approval deadlines mean your thesis or dissertation must be approved in cIRcle by G+PS (UBC Vancouver) or CoGS (UBC Okanagan) before the deadline passes.

This means you need to complete post-defense finalizations, request any necessary permissions, complete formatting, submit, and complete any requested corrections before your thesis or dissertation can be approved. Any and all of these steps can take time!

Check permissions and consider embargo requirements

As the author, you are responsible for ensuring your thesis or dissertation complies with Canadian copyright law. In some cases, you may need time to request necessary permissions to include particular components that were not created by you. The Copyright at UBC Office has extensive information about your copyright and your thesis or dissertation , and can be contacted if you have specific questions.

During your submission to cIRcle, you’ll complete the cIRcle Non-Exclusive Distribution License . You’ll retain copyright, while providing UBC the rights necessary to distribute and preserve your thesis or dissertation. Your thesis or dissertation will be licensed for use under a Creative Commons (CC) license , which indicates how others can share, use, and/or adapt your work.

If you need more time to complete publications or patent applications based on your thesis or dissertation research, or there’s a significant reason your work should not be released immediately, you may need to consider application of an embargo period. You must do this after your defense, but before you proceed with submission to cIRcle . For more information, see G+PS’ How to Request a Delay in Publication (UBC Vancouver) or CoGS’ Post-Defence Submission (UBC Okanagan).

Review formatting requirements

Your thesis or dissertation must conform to the specifications of the university, in both structure and formatting.

For thesis or dissertation preparation and formatting, UBC Vancouver students should refer to G+PS’ Dissertation & Thesis Preparation and Formatting Requirements , while UBC Okanagan students should refer to CoGS’ Thesis and Dissertation Preparation .

Create a cIRcle account and request authorization

Before you can submit your thesis or dissertation, you must:

Ensure your completed forms are submitted to G+PS/CoGS (as applicable).
Create a cIRcle account .
Send an e-mail with your name and cIRcle account e-mail to G+PS/CoGS (as applicable) in order to be authorized to submit to a thesis/dissertation collection .

You will be notified when your cIRcle account has been authorized, and you can proceed with submission. See G+PS’s Final Submission Instructions (UBC Vancouver) or CoGS’ Post-Defence Submission (UBC Okanagan) for necessary forms and more information.

Once you are ready to submit your thesis or dissertation, cIRcle provides a step-by-step submission guide .

For Master of Fine Arts/Music students only, there is an option to submit to a campus wide login (CWL)-access collection in cIRcle. You can follow the associated step-by-step submission guide .

After you submit

Once submitted, G+PS (UBC Vancouver) or CoGS (UBC Okanagan) will review your thesis or dissertation, and notify you if you are required to complete any changes and re-submit (so keep a close eye on your e-mail). Once your thesis or dissertation has undergone approval by G+PS/CoGS, you will receive a confirmation e-mail, and cannot make further changes.

After approval by G+PS/CoGS, your thesis or dissertation will undergo final review by the Library, which takes 1-3 business days. Upon approval by the Library, you will receive an e-mail notification with the persistent URL for your thesis or dissertation. You’ll be able to view your thesis or dissertation online (unless you’ve requested an embargo) and it’ll be assigned a digital object identifier (DOI) that can be used to share and cite your work.

Congratulations! Your work can now be viewed around the world and will be preserved for future generations in the UBC Theses and Dissertations collection.

Preparation

Final versions of all UBC Okanagan theses must be approved by the College of Graduate Studies and must conform to the specifications given here in order to:

Comply with the technical requirements of the UBC Library and Library and Archives Canada.
Ensure that UBC theses and dissertations are consistent, professional, and of the highest quality.

The resources below are designed to help students meet these specifications. Students are encouraged to review the resources early in the writing of their thesis, and use them to check their thesis before submitting it to the College of Graduate Studies.

A master’s thesis must demonstrate that the student knows the background and principal works of the research area, and can produce significant scholarly work. It should contain some original contribution whenever possible.
A doctoral dissertation must contain a substantial contribution of new knowledge to the field of study. It presents the results and an analysis of original research, and should be significant enough to be published.

In most fields, a doctoral dissertation will range from 60,000 to 80,000 words in length, exclusive of footnotes, bibliography, and appendices. As a courtesy to examiners, if the dissertation will be over 100,000 words long the student or supervisor must notify the College of Graduate Studies when the Notice of Doctoral Dissertation Oral Examination is submitted.

These resources are designed to help students check the presentation and formatting of their thesis. Students should review the resources early in the writing of their thesis, and use them to check their thesis before submitting it to the College of Graduate Studies.

the lay summary
the table of contents
all other preliminary pages
the main divisions and subdivisions of the thesis
the bibliography
the appendices

Formatting requirements:

single page-wide column
page numbers right-aligned
leader lines (dots) connecting the entries with their page numbers
page number for each entry
entries in the order given under Structure & Components
do not put “page” in front of the page number
subheadings indented more than main headings, third-level headings indented more than subheadings, etc.

If your thesis includes tables, you must include a List of Tables:

Tables must be listed with their numbers, titles, and page numbers.
Each entry must have leader lines (dots) between title and page number.
The list must start at the top of a new page.

If your thesis includes figures, you must include a List of Figures:

Figures must be listed with their numbers, titles, and page numbers.

If your thesis includes illustrations, symbols, or abbreviations, it is recommended that you include a list for each type:

Each list must start at the top of a new page.
Items that appear in the thesis only once must have a page number and leader lines for each entry.
Items that are used throughout the thesis do not need page numbers for each entry.

If your thesis includes terms that are not immediately obvious to the average reader, it is recommended that you include a glossary to list all terms used in your thesis.

In this section you can:

Acknowledge the extent to which assistance has been given by members of staff, fellow students, data technicians, editors, and/or others.
Recognize the supervision and advice given by your supervisor and committee members.
Acknowledge colleagues with whom you have written journal articles.

The dedication is usually quite short, and is a personal rather than academic recognition. You can use any font or language you wish for the dedication page.

The thesis must clearly state its theme, hypotheses and/or goals (sometimes called “the research question(s)”), and provide sufficient background information to enable a non-specialist scholar to understand them. It must contain a thorough review of relevant literature, perhaps in a separate chapter.

Note: The thesis must only contain one section titled “Introduction”. (Please see an exemption for published material in the “Including Published Material in a Thesis or Dissertation section below).

The account of the research should be presented in a manner suitable for the field and include the following:

A coherent structure that flows logically and smoothly from chapter to chapter.
A brief synopsis at the beginning of each research chapter.
A description of methods used, in sufficient detail to enable a reader to understand how the data were gathered and to apply similar methods in another study.
A complete account of the research presented in a systematic manner typical of the field of study.

Students should consult with their supervisors for further guidance about how to structure their particular thesis.

In this section, the student must demonstrate their mastery of the field and his/her contribution to knowledge in the broader discipline.

The section includes the following:

Overall analysis and integration of the research and conclusions of the thesis in light of current research in the field.
Conclusions regarding goals or hypotheses of the thesis that were presented in the Introduction, and the overall significance and contribution of the thesis research.
Comments on strengths and limitations of the thesis research.
Discussion of any potential applications of the research findings.
An analysis of possible future research directions in the field drawing on the work of the thesis.

Note: The thesis must only contain one section titled “Conclusion”. (Please see an exemption for published material in the “Including Published Material in a Thesis or Dissertation section below).

You and your supervisor should decide on the presentation of the bibliography at an early stage in the writing of the thesis, following a style guide or style of a significant refereed journal in your field.

There must be only one Bibliography/References/Works Cited section for the whole thesis. (Please see an exemption for published material in the “Including Published Material in a Thesis or Dissertation section below).

The Bibliography:

Must start at the top of a page.
Must be listed in the table of contents.
Must not have a chapter number, as it is not a chapter.

Note : If you include links in your Bibliography, you must include the date on which you retrieved the material from the web.

Appendices must be limited to supporting material genuinely subsidiary to the main argument of the thesis. They must only include material that is referred to in the thesis.

The following are appropriate for inclusion in the appendices:

Additional details of methodology and/or data.
Diagrams of specialized equipment developed.
Copies of questionnaires or surveys used in the research.
Scholarly artifacts (e.g., film and other audio, visual, and graphic representations, and application-oriented documents such as policy briefs, curricula, business plans, computer and web applications, etc.) not included in the body of the thesis.

Do not include copies of the Ethics Certificates in the Appendices.

Each appendix must start on a new page. The titles of the appendices must be included in the table of contents.

Important: You must black out any signatures that may appear in the appendices (and in the rest of the thesis).

Some theses and dissertations may consist in part or primarily of multimedia components.

Supplementary material must be relevant to the thesis work and usually consists of electronic material or multimedia that cannot easily be included in the PDF of your thesis.

If you are submitting a thesis or dissertation that contains multimedia and/or supplementary material (i.e. you are submitting more files than a single pdf), you must create a “List of Submitted Files” in addition to the required thesis components listed above (as applicable). The “List of Submitted Files” should follow the List of Tables and List of Figures. Ensure that the “List of Submitted Files” is included in the Table of Contents.”

Choose a style guide approved by your supervisor or graduate program, or follow the print style of a significant refereed journal publication in your field of study. By choosing a style guide, you ensure consistent style and formatting of your thesis.

The style guide determines the format for the following:

Headings and subheadings.
The referencing system throughout the thesis/project.
The list of references at the end of your work (bibliography, works cited, etc.).
The formatting and labeling of all tables.
The format for the captions for all figures.

If there is a conflict between the instructions in these guidelines and the style guide chosen, these guidelines must be followed.

You and your supervisor are responsible for ensuring that your thesis meets the formatting requirements.

Font choice:

Must be appropriate for an academic paper.
Must use the same font throughout the thesis.
10 to 12 point font in Times New Roman or Arial for main text.
At least 6 point font in tables and figures.
Must be black throughout, except for web links.

Please use italics sparingly, and bear in mind that they are not very effective for distinguishing headings.

Numbering chapters, headings and subheadings is not mandatory, but the heading levels must be clearly distinguished and consistent. If you do number the headings, the numbering must be sequential and accurate. Please use bolding or a larger font to ensure they are easy to find. Italics are not as effective, as they do not reproduce as clearly on a screen.

Capitalization of same-level headings must be consistent. You can use title case or sentence case, but must use the same case for all headings of the same level. This also applies to captions of tables, figures, etc.

It is not necessary to have running headers or footers in your thesis, other than for page numbers. If you wish, you can use one with page titles (for the preliminary pages), chapter titles (and chapter numbers, if applicable), but you must be consistent throughout the thesis. Information other than this is not acceptable in a header or footer. The running header must be placed top centre or top right-justified.

The whole thesis, including the table of contents, must be in a single, page-wide column. Do not use two or more columns in your thesis.

The text of the thesis must be in paragraph form.

The first line of each paragraph must be indented, or
There must be a larger space between paragraphs than there is between lines.

Each chapter must start at the top of a new page.

Please ensure your margins are consistent throughout the document.

The left margin should be a recommended 1.25 inches (32 mm) for binding; 1 inch minimum.

The right, top, and bottom margins should be a recommended 1 inch; 0.75 inches (19 mm) minimum.

Please ensure spacing is consistent throughout the document.

Lines of text must be 1.5 or double spaced.
Quotations of more than one line can be single-spaced.
Acknowledgements, footnotes, table, figure and illustration captions and the bibliography can be single-spaced, provided that individual entries are separated by a full space.

Preliminary Pages:

Must be numbered in lower case Roman numerals (ii, iii, iv, etc.).
The title page is “i” but this number must not appear on the page.
Numbering begins at “ii” on the Committee Recommendation Form.

Body of thesis:

Must be numbered in Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.).
The first page of the text is “1”.
Subsequent pages are numbered continuously throughout, including pages with tables and figures, bibliographies, appendices, and index.

Whole thesis:

Every page except the title page must have a number on it.
There must be no blank pages in the thesis.
Page number sequence and completeness will be checked at final submission.

Page numbers:

Must be placed at least .5 inches (12 mm) from the edge of the page.
May be either in the lower centre or on the top or lower right of the page, when the page is viewed in portrait view. Lower right is preferred.

Landscape pages must be orientated in your PDF so that they are readable without rotation. You do not need to change the location or orientation of the page number, but may if you wish.

Facing pages are not acceptable. If the caption for a figure, table, etc., cannot appear on the same page as its accompanying illustration, place the illustration on a separate page after the caption.

Tables, figures and illustrations must be identified with the word “Table”, “Figure”, or other appropriate descriptor, and include a title and/or caption.

You must use a consistent format for titles and captions of tables, figures and illustrations throughout the thesis.

Lettering in tables and figures should be at least 2 mm high to ensure that the information is easy to read.
Tables and figures must have titles or captions, and must be numbered.
Headings must be repeated on the second and subsequent pages of tables that split over two pages or more.
Tables should be split at an appropriate place, e.g. just before a new subheading.
The format for titles and captions of tables, figures and illustrations must be consistent throughout the thesis.

Tables, figures, illustrations and other such items must be numbered consecutively in order of appearance within the thesis.

There are two methods for numbering Tables, Figures and other items:

Sequentially throughout the thesis, e.g. 1, 2, 3…
Chapter number first, then numbered sequentially within each chapter, e.g.:

Tables in Chapter 1: Table 1.1, 1.2, 1.3…

Figures in Chapter 3: Figure 3.1, 3.2, 3.3…

Whichever method you choose, the numbering style must be the same for both Tables and Figures; for example: Table 1.1 and Figure 1.3, or Table 1 and Figure 3, not Table 1 and Figure 1.3.

There are three acceptable locations for tables and figures:

Within the chapter immediately following first reference to them.
Grouped at the end of the relevant chapter.
Grouped at the end of the thesis before the bibliography.

Whichever method you choose, you must be consistent.

If the caption for a figure, table, etc., will not fit on the same page as its accompanying illustration, place the illustration on a separate page.

Use of Colour

You can use colour in tables, figures, and illustrations.

Reproducing and Reducing

Copying and/or reducing the size of figures (e.g. charts, drawings, graphs, photographs, maps, etc.) may make certain images illegible. After reduction, all lettering must be large enough to fulfill the font size requirements, and must be clear and readable.

You and your supervisor should decide on the form and location of footnotes at an early stage in the writing of the thesis, following a style guide or style of a significant refereed journal in your field. Please ensure you use a consistent approach to the form and location of notes and footnotes.

Notes and footnotes must be numbered consecutively throughout the thesis .

Three possible locations:

at the bottom of pages
at the end of chapters
at the end of the main body of the text immediately preceding the bibliography

Whenever possible, students should submit preferred file formats .

Students may use .zip files to upload other file formats; however, please note that .zip files create accessibility barriers for people using screen readers. It is highly recommended that .zip files are only used when necessary.

While cIRcle can technically accept most file formats, preferred formats are those that have the most capacity to support access and preservation. Submitting anything other than preferred file formats may result in a failure of long-term preservation and access to your thesis/dissertation.

Please see the Library’s Copyright Educational Resources Theses and Dissertations Guide . For help with understanding copyright for your thesis, contact [email protected]

If submitted manuscripts or published articles are to be included as research chapters in your thesis/dissertation, details about the material (e.g., publication status, journal information) must be included in the Preface.

Regardless of the publication status (i.e., submitted, under review, accepted, published), the material can be presented in its current format* in the thesis/dissertation. However, for each published article, it is the responsibility of the student to check the journal’s policy for including the material in a thesis/dissertation. Some journals require no action on your part, whereas others require a written request for permission to include the material. Failure to obtain the necessary permission(s) could result in legal action against the student.

Although it is not necessary to revise submitted manuscripts or published articles for the thesis/dissertation, it is still a requirement that the thesis/dissertation has general Introduction and Conclusion sections that address the entire document. While it is expected there will be some overlap between these sections and the Introduction and Discussion of each research chapter, the text must be original and must convey clearly how the separate research chapters represent a cohesive body of work. While not a formal requirement, bridging text between research chapters is an effective way to maintain the narrative thread.

*It is at the discretion of the student’s supervisory committee whether the abstract should be included and whether the thesis/dissertation has a single bibliography/reference list following the general Conclusion or a separate bibliography/reference list at the end of each chapter.

The student should adjust the font style and size to ensure that only one style and size is used throughout the main text of the thesis/dissertation.

Electronic theses are subject to the same copyright protection as paper documents. You hold copyright to your theses regardless of the method of submission.

You own the copyright to your thesis as a whole and are free to publish your thesis if you wish. If your thesis includes any work (e.g. figures, tables, etc.) which is copyrighted to another party, you may need their permission to publish.

Any research or study conducted at UBC facilities (including UBC’s affiliated hospitals) or undertaken by persons connected to the University that involves human subjects, animals, bio-hazardous materials, or potential environmental impact must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate UBC research ethics board. This must be done before you start your research.

Please visit the Office of Research Services for more information regarding how to apply for approval.

The numbers of the UBC Certificates of Ethical Approval for all research reported in your thesis must be listed in the Preface. Please include the number of the original certificate pertaining to the research in your thesis, and the numbers of the certificates for any significant changes or additions that were approved.

NOTE : Please do not include copies of certificates in your thesis.

The final copy of your thesis must be free of all personal information as defined in the Privacy Act .

Signatures are considered to be personal information, and must be removed from the final copy of the thesis.

Plagiarism is intellectual theft. It occurs when an individual submits or presents the oral or written work of another person as their own. This applies to draft work and oral presentations as well as to final submissions. Failing to properly cite the work of another also constitutes plagiarism, even if it is accidental.

Plagiarism by graduate students will be reported to the College of Graduate Studies. For complete details on the process and disciplinary procedures, download the document Dealing with Plagiarism by Graduate Students .

You are responsible for understanding what constitutes plagiarism, and for ensuring that you do not commit any act of plagiarism under any circumstances.

Scholarly research and communication is enhanced when research inputs in addition to the final polished culmination (thesis, dissertation, or other manuscript or scholarly product) are made available and connected to the final scholarly product.

The College of Graduate Studies has worked with Dr. Yves Lucet to develop a LaTeX format that meets the requirements of the College of Graduate Studies.

Turnitin is a suite of tools for improving student writing that includes ways of checking the originality of the writing to prevent plagiarism and providing detailed instructor and peer feedback for each student.

Theses must be written in English; however, Interdisciplinary Studies (IGS) students who are registered in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies may be approved to write the thesis in French.

The following regulations apply to theses written in French:

The oral examination will be conducted in French.
The Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies must ensure the requisite supervisory committee members, with the necessary language background and familiarity with the field of French literature, are available to supervise the thesis. It is the responsibility of the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies to ensure there are sufficient faculty members, with no conflict of interest, to participate on supervisory committees and as University Examiner and Neutral Chair.
The small number of faculty at UBCO who have language fluency in French may mean University Examiners could come from UBCV.
The thesis will be submitted to the College of Graduate Studies with a Title Page, Abstract, Preface, and Table of Contents translated into English.

UBC owns the rights to inventions, software and other products of research developed by students as part of their graduate work. UBC policy requires that, if a student “proposes to patent or license an invention or discovery and University facilities or funds administered by the University were used in making the invention or discovery”, the “disclosure must be made to the University and the rights assigned to the University in return for a share of any profits arising from the invention or discovery.” Disclosure forms and more information about the University Patent and Licensing Plan can be obtained from the Industry Liaison Office .

Public disclosure in any form of patentable material before a formal patent application has been filed in at least one country, might compromise potential patent protection in other countries. Deposition of a thesis in the UBC Library constitutes such disclosure.

If it appears that the subject matter of the research presented in your thesis is likely to lead to patentable or licensable material, you should discuss this with the University Industry Liaison Office as early as possible, and well before the intended date of submitting the thesis. In the case of doctoral dissertations, this must be done before the dissertation can be submitted to the External Examiner.

12 Credit MSc Thesis (Thesis Master's)

The 12 credit MSc thesis is equivalent in credits to four three-credit graduate courses.

Program Requirements under This Option

18 credits of approved courses of which a maximum of six credits may be 300 or 400 level undergraduate courses. All courses must be approved by the student’s advisor or supervisor, and in the case of undergraduate courses, by the Graduate Advisor as well. If you want to take 300 or 400 level undergraduate courses or transfer credits, please refer to ' Undergraduate Course registration ' or ' Transfer Credit ' for more information. The course work in this option comprises six 3-credit graduate courses, typically taken three per term in the first year of MSc studies. However, students have flexibility in scheduling their course work. For those new to the Canadian educational system the transition can be eased by scheduling two courses in the first term. The additional course can be taken in the second year. Another typical pattern involves taking only two courses in the second term of the first year, allowing the student to explore their intended research area. Additionally, course availability may argue for deferring the final course until the second year. It is of course possible to defer several courses to the second year of studies, but courses may either be unavailable or scheduled in the same term, which may interfere with research progress.
It involves some original research results;
It involves novel implementation techniques
It involves the implementation of a piece of nontrivial software whose availability could have some impact on the computer science user community.
one supervisor and at least one committee member, or
one primary supervisor and one co-supervisor and one committee member,
or two co-supervisors and one committee member.
They may not have three co-supervisors (or one supervisor and two co-supervisors). Please refer to Faculty of Graduate and Post Doctoral Studies for details.
The thesis must be approved by a committee of at least two (the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies highly recommends three) faculty including the supervisor(s). An external reader (i.e., someone outside of the supervisory committee who was not involved with the student’s thesis) is not required.
Thesis/Essay Presentation: The student is required to present the thesis at a departmental seminar. This is not necessary if material related to the thesis has been presented at conference or other public research meeting (workshop, symposium etc.). If the thesis is presented at a department seminar, the student must send the information (date, time, location, supervisor's name, title of the thesis, and abstract) to [email protected] at least 7 days in advance, so that an announcement can be sent to the department.

Career Paths and Alumni

All MSc students are required to complete a thesis project. The thesis provides students with practical experience in the creation of original research. SPPH MSc theses cover a wide range of topics. Any research topic related to the health of human populations is suitable for and MSc thesis. An archive of past SPPH masters theses is available through UBC cIRcle .

There are no SPPH-specific policies regarding thesis length, citation style, or format. Appropriate length, style, or format decisions can be made by the supervisory committee as long as the overall thesis meets the standards set by the UBC Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.

Typically, an MSc thesis focuses on one main research question, which may or may not be closely linked to a faculty member’s research. Students do not need to collect original data. Many students use datasets from their supervisors or other sources (PopData BC, for example). Most projects require approval from the Office of Research Ethics at UBC. The School strongly encourages students to publish their research results in the peer-reviewed literature.

Supervisor & Committee

All MSc students must have a supervisor or two co-supervisors. The supervisor or at least one of the co-supervisors must be an Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor of the School or an Associate Member Faculty of the School. Applicants are not required to have a supervisor before applying to the program, but they are encouraged to engage with potential supervisors. The supervisor’s or co-supervisors’s role is to guide and support a student throughout the course of their degree program. Supervisors provide experience, expertise, resources, and mentorship, and help develop a student’s academic, research, and leadership potential. Students may choose their supervisor. The program does not assign supervisors, but does assist students in finding the right supervisor based on their research interests.

In addition to a supervisor or co-supervisors, students also receive support from supervisory committee members. Supervisory committees must contain a minimum of three members, inclusive of supervisor or co-supervisors. Students work with supervisors to identify suitable committee members.

Thesis Presentations & Oral Exam

MSc students are not required to submit a thesis proposal to the MSc program, but they are encouraged to develop a proposal with their supervisor(s) and supervisory committee. A thesis proposal helps to develop and guide the thesis research. Students are not required to present a thesis proposal to the SPPH Thesis Screening Panel. Students are welcome to present if they would like to receive additional feedback and practice presentation skills.

The culmination of the thesis research is the Final Oral Exam (or thesis defense). At the Final Oral Exam, students present their research to a panel of examiners and respond to questions from the examiners. After passing the oral exam, students can finish their programs and graduate. For more information about the SPPH-specific MSc thesis defense policies and procedures, see the exam procedures guide and virtual exam protocol .

Current MSc students can find more detailed information on the MSc Canvas Site . Supervisors can find more information on the Supervision site (contact the program to request access).

Political Science Undergraduate Honours Research Projects 2024

May 8, 2024

On April 17, our graduating honours students successfully presented their undergraduate theses.

Over the course of the two-year program, these students researched a range of political topics based on their personal interests, from the role of instrumental music in diplomacy to the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) advocacy for the Paris Agreement.

Through their projects, these students gained expertise in their topic, experience with carrying out social science research, and contributed new research to the scholarly community.

2024 Honours Thesis Abstracts

Orientalism for a Superpower? Theorizing a New Orientalism for 21st Century China by Qiu Guan

Despite China’s recent ascendancy to a world superpower and its rapid economic and technological development, several writers have referred to discourse on China as ‘Orientalist’. There seems to be a fundamental mismatch between Edward Said’s 1978 articulation of Orientalism as seeing the Orient as backwards, static, and inferior with the modern conditions of China.

This paper attempts to provide a provisional understanding of what this ‘New Orientalism’ is. Drawing on the work of Edward Said and Michel Foucault, it traces new Orientalist discourse on China to its pre-19th century origins, noting the ways discourse has both changed and remained the same. By exploring changes in discourse that arise out of China’s increasing claims to economic and technological power, an idea of discourse on China moving towards objectivity is challenged.

Rather, discourse seems to be mediated in the West’s own self-construction by making China its lagging opposite and reinforcing Western claims to a ‘normal’, universal development. To cope with China’s changing material circumstances, New Orientalist rhetoric has shifted to a concentration on China’s moral lagging to characterize its inferiority to the West.

This thesis aims to fill a knowledge gap in the diaspora studies scholarship by evaluating the impact of the diaspora strategies of the full member states of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on the Caribbean Canadian diaspora. It employs a mixed-methods approach that includes a survey of ten Caribbean diasporans from across Canada and eight semi-structured interviews with this same group of diasporans.

Through these methods, the study provides insights into 1) diasporans levels of economic, political and cultural engagement with their home countries; 2) the ways in which Caribbean Canadians engage with their countries of origin; 3) the barriers to engagement faced by diasporans and 4) the ways in which the diaspora strategies of CARICOM governments could be improved.

The findings from this study point to a strong desire from the diaspora to remain more engaged with the region, despite the barriers they face in doing so (such as a lack of awareness of existing diaspora strategies and political and economic stability of home countries). The thesis also makes recommendations on how Caribbean diaspora engagement strategies could be improved.

Transcending Political Dissonances: Music as an Instrument of Diplomacy by Uno Kakegawa

While the intersection of music and politics has garnered some attention in scholarly discourse, the role of instrumental music as a soft power tool in diplomacy remains underexamined. This thesis bridges this gap by exploring the transformative capacity of instrumental music in influencing socio-political norms and international relations in both state sponsored and non-state sponsored contexts.

Using a critical aesthetic approach that synthesizes Adorno’s understanding of music and Said’s concept of “the Other”, my research examines the powerful potential of music as a diplomatic tool. To further my analysis, I adopt a mixed-methods approach to apply my theoretical framework to two case studies: the state-sponsored American Jazz Ambassadors and the non-state-sponsored West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. These examples demonstrate how music can operate as an agent of cultural exchange and foster understanding among politically divided groups, ultimately shaping socio-political norms and influencing power dynamics.

By transcending cultural and linguistic boundaries, instrumental music emerges as a unique artistic medium that facilitates cross-cultural exchange and transforms the diplomatic landscape. My analysis and findings demonstrate the multifaceted nature of musical diplomacy and contribute to an in-depth understanding of international relations and soft power discourse. Consequently, my research advances the existing literature by integrating critical aesthetic theory into contemporary diplomatic practices and analyzing how instrumental music can be utilized as a diplomatic tool for societal transformation and cross-cultural dialogue.

Transforming Perceptions: The Role of Perspective-Taking in the Canadian Policy Context by Eylul Kara

This study investigates the role of empathy and perspective-taking in shaping policy support toward oil and gas pipelines in Canada, with an applicable focus on the Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMX) project. Conducted through an online survey experiment with 442 participants, the study examines the influence of a perspective-taking exercise on policy support and political behaviour.

By prompting participants to imagine themselves in the situation of those directly impacted by Canadian pipeline policies, this research aims to assess the potential of empathy, induced through perspective-taking, to foster a more inclusive approach to policy evaluation. The results indicate that perspective-taking significantly decreased the likelihood of support for pipeline policies. However, it did not have a significant effect on participants' willingness to engage in actions like signing a petition against the TMX expansion to the Canadian government.

The study further revealed that participants who underwent the perspective taking exercise reported higher levels of emotional intensity (concern, sympathy, anger, activism), which in turn, significantly correlated with a decrease in policy support. In this context, emotional response is understood as an important mechanism between perspective taking and changes in policy support, suggesting a need for further research on their impact on policy attitudes and behaviors.

Why (New) Institutions Resist Gendered Change: A Feminist Institutionalist Study on Resistance to Gender Equality in South Korea by Christy Lim

Building upon contemporary trends in feminist institutionalist (FI) thinking that address how institutions serve as sites of resistance to gender-positive movements, my paper examines how informal institutions (unwritten norms, practices, and beliefs) can obstruct formal efforts to improve gender inequality, often in subtle and less overt ways. I am particularly interested in the case of South Korea, where divisive and symbolic discourses on gender issues are prevalent in political campaigns, legislative debates, and even formal policy language. They harbor ambiguous and contested notions of gender equality, particularly concerning what it means specifically in the national context, who its intended beneficiaries are, and who is included/excluded from protection.

Notably, I apply Fiona Mackay's (2014) concept of “nested newness” to the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, to analyze how political rhetoric shapes the ministry's functions and legitimacy according to different political agendas. Moreover, I find that ideological-discursive tensions surrounding the terms “gender” and “sex” equality in Korea illustrate how intersecting inequalities are perpetuated and reproduced by resistance actors’ conflicting interests. Furthermore, through a case study of national gender quotas that developed against the backdrop of soft international mandates, I contend that the term, “women's representation” frequently used in formal policy language, remains inadequately defined and growingly susceptible to resistance driven by a new norm that prioritizes meritocracy.

Dasein Beyond Humanity: A Heideggerian Justice for Non-Human Animals by Micah Matsuno

This thesis critically reevaluates Martin Heidegger's concept of Dasein, expanding its scope to include non-human animals (NHAs), thereby challenging the deep-seated anthropocentrism prevalent in contemporary philosophical and political theories. Traditional frameworks typically confine justice and moral consideration to humans, characterized by their capacity for rational thought and public reasoning, thereby excluding NHAs from discussions of rights and justice.

Drawing on Heidegger’s existential analytics, this work argues that NHAs, much like humans, experience Being-in-the-world and Being-towards-death, which are central to Heidegger’s definition of Dasein. This recognition pushes the boundaries of conventional justice systems that overlook the complex lives and intrinsic value of NHAs. By proposing a model of interspecies justice that acknowledges NHAs as active participants in their existential projects, this thesis advocates for a radical restructuring of ethical frameworks to accommodate the authentic modes of being of all sentient creatures. It suggests a shift from viewing NHAs as passive subjects within human-centric practices to recognizing their distinct existences and modes of being, thus calling for justice practices that genuinely respect and uphold the authenticity of all forms of life.

The Alienated Albertan: Regional Populism and Subject Formation in Alberta, Canada by Anya McKercher

In this thesis, I ask: How should we understand the recent resurgence of regional populism in Alberta? Within this issue, I am interested in the intersecting cases of the election of Danielle Smith, the Alberta Sovereignty Act, Take Back Alberta (TBA), as well as the broader trend of an increase in anti-establishment populism, in which being “Albertan” is considered an important political identity, with connotations of being pro-oil and gas, pro-free market, anti-environmentalist, anti-intellectual, and anti-Ottawa.

To understand this phenomenon, I begin by briefly defining Alberta’s regional populism and establishing it as a phenomenon that has had an impact on Albertan politics, with a marked resurgence in recent years. From the literature, I identify a dominant explanation that highlights Western alienation and reliance on fossil fuels as significant forces driving this surge. While I find the insights from this work to be helpful – or even crucial –– in making sense of why Alberta’s populism has taken on some of its idiosyncrasies, I find that this explanation leaves much unanswered. Specifically, I find a gap in the literature regarding the ideational and discursive role which power has played in the emergence of this movement. As such, I further existing analysis by highlighting the influence of dominant paradigms on understanding of what it means to be Albertan. Specifically, I understand these paradigms to be sites of power –– both upheld by and upholding existing hierarchies and modes of governance.

In other words, building off existing literature, I argue that we must go beyond highlighting the idiosyncrasies of the province in isolation. Instead, I assert that Alberta's regional populism is best understood in the context of neoliberalism and petro-hegemony, as political rationales that are on the one hand dominant in the province, but on the other hand, increasingly face challenges and instability. As such, in developing my analysis I draw on a variety of critical theorists, putting them in conversation with authors who have examined political and spatial imaginaries in Alberta. I then go on to analyze the recent developments in Alberta politics related to regional populism, to both support my theory and provide further analysis. Ultimately, I conclude that the province's regional populism can be more thoroughly understood with an eye towards hegemony and its impact of subject formation, and that this lens offers valuable insights in how we can effectively engage in counter-hegemony.

Charting Climate Discourses: The Power of Ideas and the Role of SIDS in Crafting the 1.5°C Norm in International Climate Negotiations by Logane Rolland

The 2015 Paris Agreement marked a significant milestone in global climate negotiations, establishing a commitment to limit global warming to below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This research focuses on Small Island Developing States’ (SIDS) advocacy for the 1.5°C target within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) leading up to the agreement. Despite traditional international relations literature often overlooking small states’ power, emerging constructivist scholarship underscores SIDS’ critical impact in climate negotiations through normative power. Accordingly, this study investigates how SIDS strategically contributed to the construction and diffusion of the 1.5°C goal as a norm, reframing climate discourse within the UNFCCC.

Drawing on norm diffusion literature and frame theory, I argue that they played a significant role in advocating for the 1.5°C goal as an international norm. This claim is supported by a qualitative examination of SIDS' contribution to the UNFCCC from 2007 until 2015, using content analysis on daily Conference of Parties newsletters, along with SIDS’ submissions to climate change conferences. I find that, by leveraging their moral leadership, climate vulnerabilities, and invoking scientific evidence, SIDS effectively influenced negotiations leading up to the 1.5°C target adoption in 2015. These findings are complemented by a discourse analysis of the framings used by SIDS in their coalitions’s statements. By shedding light on SIDS' contribution to constructing and disseminating the 1.5°C norm, this study demonstrates their transformative impact in shaping the current normative dialogue and foundation around the 1.5°C norm in climate governance.

Expanding Into Climate Governance: An analysis of the IMF’s climate-related surveillance and secretariat composition by Eduardo Rosales

Despite the IMF setting benchmarks to increase staffing diversity, recent IMF staffing compositions still need to be more researched. This thesis investigates the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) expanded role in climate change, focusing on how the nationality compositions of secretariat staff interact with climate-related economic assessments. This explores the internal dynamics of international organizations, adding to the theoretical and empirical research exploring theory and observations of staff member nationality’s influence in agenda orientations and organization authority enhancements. The findings reveal a modest increase in staff shares from climate-vulnerable states, occurring in tandem with climate integration. This study contributes to the literature on international organizations by identifying that the emergence of climate integration at the IMF was likely not influenced by changes in secretariat staffing compositions, and sets a foundation for future analysis of IMF authority enhancing processes.

A Typical Canadian Constitutional Story: The Mechanization of the Notwithstanding Clause as a Tool for Decentralization by Siavash Salamatian

The individual rights override provision (the notwithstanding clause) included in the 1982, Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms had traditionally been viewed as a mechanism that outside of Quebec was too politically costly to use. This understanding of the clause has rapidly shifted in recent years with provincial leaders having musings about a more frequent use of the clause. This paper employs a mixed-methods approach in its study.

I first measured public opinion since 1988 on who Canadians believe should adjudicate Charter disputes. I then employ an original theoretical table to compare the discourse of the drafters of the 1982 Constitution with the current provincial leaders who have used the clause to track changes on how permissive elites believe a use of the notwithstanding clause should be and for what uses it can be invoked. Finally, to empirically test whether a ‘federalism’ use of the clause is actually reflected in public opinion, I identified several invocations of the clause and tested provincial sentiments towards those particular issues in comparison to the national values.

Ultimately, I find that there is increasing trust in the provinces over the federal government; elite discourse suggests that there is now a more permissive understanding of using the clause for federalism purposes; and when the clause is invoked there is a difference in preferences between that province and the rest of Canada. However, the findings of the last theory may not be entirely due to provincial differences. The key contribution of this research is to look at the notwithstanding clause as a mechanism that is being used to express provincial differences in the federation, rather than solely a political choice to avoid accountability.

The News about the News: Exploring the Impact of Meta’s Social Media News Ban on the Quality and Quantity of Online News in Canada by Henry Waatainen

Little has been written about the effects that social media news bans (SMNBs) have on journalism and, as a potential consequence, democracy. This paper provides an initial assessment of whether SMNBs—in particular, those that are isolated to specific countries and social media platforms—incentivize online news organizations to shift their publication patterns in ways that could be detrimental to citizen participation in democracy.

More specifically, an original dataset of Canadian newspaper headlines from before and after Meta’s 2023 SMNB is analyzed for correlations between the existence of an SMNB and the amount of sensationalized and foreign news published. The results indicate no observable effect on either outcome. Therefore, this study does not find that SMNBs pose significant consequences for the quality and quantity of domestic journalism in the sample examined. However, further research is necessary in order to determine what broader impact such bans may have on individuals’ capacity to make informed democratic decisions.
