  • Fall 2020 You Have Two Different Ways of Viewing Your Mcgill Account Charges on the Student Student Accounts Section of Minerva
    Where is My Money Going? Fall 2020 You have two different ways of viewing your McGill account charges on the Student Student Accounts section of Minerva. Firstly, your monthly e-bill is like a credit card statement, in that it E-Bill summarizes the charges and payments for the current bill and establishes the payment due date. It is a snapshot of your account activity on the date it is issued. If you do not pay by the due date you will be charged interest at a rate of 1.24% per month (14.88% per annum), which will be reflected on your next statement. The Account Summary by Term provides the most up to date view of all charges and payments. Should you change course registrations after the e-bill has been issued, then these changes will be reflected either on the next e-billing cycle or via the Account Summary by Term on Minerva. A list of important fee-related dates is available on the Student Accounts website. Information about your e-bill and methods of paying your account is available on the e-Billing and Your Account page. What Am I Paying For? Here is an explanation of many of the fees you, as a McGill student, are paying for. Categories of Fees: 1. Tuition Fees 2. Administrative Charges 3. University Fees 4. Student-Initiated Fees 5. Students’ Society Fees 6. Independent Student Group Fees 7. University & Student Insurance Plan Fees Your tuition fees at McGill will vary according to whether or not you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, a Québec resident, or an international student.

  • We Are Mcgill
    We are McGill On September 20, 2011, Provost Anthony Masi and Vice-Principal Michael di Grappa issued a communiqué concerning classes being held off-campus during the MUNACA strike. This followed an incident a week earlier in which a McGill professor was threatened with suspension for carrying out her academic duties by teaching off-campus so that she and her students would not have to cross the MUNACA picket line. The message from the Provost and the Vice-Principal was clearly intended to justify this threat in the eyes of the McGill community, and to intimidate other faculty members who might be contemplating similar action in support of their MUNACA co-workers. In presuming to express “McGill’s position” on this issue – as if the senior Administration were identical with the University—the Provost and the Vice-Principal selectively invoked regulations which they interpreted as requiring that academic duties be performed on campus. They also suggested that professors who teach off-campus during the strike are failing in their obligation to students by inconveniencing them and exposing them to unsafe learning conditions. We reject all of this. Teaching off-campus during strikes is a practice with a long and noble history at North American universities, one that allows faculty members and students to respect their co-workers, and their own consciences, while still meeting their obligations to each other. The Administration’s aggressive disregard for the integrity of this practice displays the very same lack of respect for the University’s diverse constituents that has characterized its treatment of McGill’s unionized support staff.

  • Mcgill Psychology October 2019 Newsletter
    Psychology McGill 4th Issue | OCTOBER 2019 4th Issue behavioural neuroscience | clinical | cognitive neuroscience | developmental | health | quantitative modelling | social & personality A Message from our Department Chair What an exciting time this is for Psychology at McGill! Artificial intelligence, fake news, pain, empathy, aging: discussion of these topics and others in the news seems to repeatedly turn to the science of psychology for understanding. Our department and discipline are well positioned to inform discussion and debate in the public “square. As faculty and students push the envelope in our understanding of human thought and behavior through their cutting edge research, each year we also teach about 11,000 students the state of the science. Many of these students go on to careers outside of psychology but our hope is that learning about the scientific process in the context of human behavior has left them wiser citizens, better equipped to evaluate evidence provided in support of the many competing claims they encounter on social media. In the past year, we hired 3 new assistant professors, giving us a total of 15 assistant professors – reflecting a truly remarkable period of academic renewal in our department. We were also fortunate this past year to have funds to support graduate student travel to conferences, thanks to the generosity of recently retired Professor Morton Mendelson. We hope in the future to find other sources to support graduate student travel. This year, we said “so long for now” to our long time graduate program coordinator Giovanna LoCascio, retiring after 46 years at McGill. The faculty and students remain deeply grateful for Gio and the other members of the support staff who work tirelessly to lighten our administrative loads so that we can focus our attention on the academic mission of the department.

  • Building a “Cross-Roads Discipline” at Mcgill University: a History of Early Experimental Psychology in Postwar Canada
    BUILDING A “CROSS-ROADS DISCIPLINE” AT MCGILL UNIVERSITY: A HISTORY OF EARLY EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY IN POSTWAR CANADA ERIC OOSENBRUG A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Psychology. Graduate Program in Psychology York University Toronto, Ontario October 2020 © Eric Oosenbrug, 2020 Abstract This dissertation presents an account of the development of psychology at McGill University from the late nineteenth century through to the early 1960s. The department of psychology at McGill represents an alternative to the traditional American-centered narrative of the cognitive revolution and later emergence of the neurosciences. In the years following World War II, a series of psychological experiments established McGill as among the foremost departments of psychology in North America. This thesis is an institutional history that reconstructs the origins, evolution, and dramatic rise of McGill as a major center for psychological research. The experiments conducted in the early 1950s, in the areas of sensory restriction, motivation, and pain psychology, were transformative in their scope and reach. Central to this story is Donald O. Hebb, author of The Organization of Behavior (1949), who arrived at McGill in 1947 to find the charred remains of a department. I argue that the kind of psychology Hebb established at McGill was different from most departments in North America; this is developed through a number of interwoven storylines focused on the understanding of a particular character of McGill psychology - a distinctive “psychological style” - and its broader historical importance for Canadian psychology, for North American psychology, and for psychology across the globe.
