您是否因达尔富尔的危机而感动？诸如阿拉伯之春和占领华尔街之类的社会运动对您感兴趣吗？您想为公共服务或非营利组织工作吗？媒体和公共利益（MPI）计划可能适合您。MPI计划是加拿大唯一的此类计划，它将传播和媒体问题与民主等社会正义问题联系起来
The MPI program is the only one of its kind in Canada and connects issues of communication and media to social justice issues such as democracy, equity, class, race, and gender. Students in MPI examine social movements and how media can be used to further these causes. Some example courses in the MPI program include Alternative Media, Social Movements and Media, and Activism in Mainstream Media.A primary goal of the program is to connect media theory learned in the classroom to real world experiences. Students are encouraged to put what they learn to use. Many of the courses feature a service learning component or practicum that gives students the opportunity to volunteer in a community organization.
