Study Space

DEVS MA students share a study/lounge area with MA students from two other programs: Cultural Studies and Gender Studies.  Located in Mackintosh-Corry Hall adjacent to the cafeteria, the space includes individual study carrels hardwired for computers, individual lockers, meeting rooms for TA office hours, and a communal lounge.

Library and Research

The Queen's library system has invested heavily in its development studies holdings, allowing Queen's students and faculty access to a comprehensive range of online journals covering all facets of the discipline alongside building a substantial holding of books and monographs in the field.
