Photojournalism Master’s Thesis
You have spent a career answering other people's questions on deadline; the master's dissertation is the first work of record that begins and ends with your own — asked from years of witness, tested with defensible method, and written so carefully that the University will publish it.
The capstone passage of the master's degree — from the claim of an original contribution and the long record of those who studied the press before you, through the frame behind the frame and the oath a witness-scholar swears, into design, instruments, testimony, and proof, until every chapter stands assembled, revised, and submitted — and your dissertation takes its place in the University's published research.
Course Overview
PHJ 498 is the capstone of the Master of Arts in Photojournalism: an eight-lesson course in which you research, write, and complete your master's dissertation part by part. Each lesson turns graduate research craft toward the practice of reportage, and each assignment produces a real section of the dissertation — the research question, the literature review, the theoretical framework, the ethics statement, the methodology, the findings — until the final lesson, where you submit the finished dissertation for faculty review and publication in the University's research collection.
