MA Documentary, Photojournalism and Global Justice

SOAS University of London

This pathway on the MA Global Journalism will prepare you for career paths in visual media journalism, along with campaigning, communication and advocacy roles within the global justice movement.

It is led by Dr Shahidul Alam, a multi-award winning photographer, author and founder of the Pathshala South Asia Media Institute.

Our course content as well as teaching methods are rooted in a conception of journalism’s potential to speak truth to power, and a concern for the different ways in which that is under threat: from disinformation to emergent forms of censorship and repression.

Our diverse range of modules also share a common orientation towards the Global South, championing decolonised and feminist approaches, and placing both the under-represented and the under-reported at the core of our curriculum.

Above all, you will have the opportunity to develop and hone a cross section of skillsets applicable to a wide range of career paths within journalism and beyond.
