TEXTUAL INQUIRY  
 

Our interpretations and values shape the world around us, and we are shaped by the interpretations and values of others. It is the humanities disciplines that traditionally explore such interactions; they do so through textual study: literary, critical, philosophical, and religious.

Laurentian's M.A. in Interpretation and Values stresses the commonalities among the various humanities disciplines. While the program retains the textual focus of traditional disciplinary humanities study, it also extends the definition of text to include the disciplinary structures themselves as well as the structures of social organizations in the community.

The program places graduates of specialized programmes in the humanities within an environment of reading, writing, dialogue, debate, and action which makes clear how interpretation and values operate within

  • the varied disciplines out of which they have come;
  • the seminal texts of those disciplines;
  • the public and private sector organizations within our communities.
