When students enroll in the Journalism PhD and master’s research and theory programs at the University of Texas at Austin, they join a community of scholars committed to conducting, presenting, and publishing ethical research.

While the research may begin as a classroom assignment or collaboration with faculty or fellow graduate students, the end product is usually a convention paper, journal article, book chapter, or book.

Please browse through the convention papers and publications produced by our PhD and master’s research and theory students.
