Carleton University

Course Description

• The master’s degree enables students to study literature in English from a wide range of national and transnational contexts, historical periods, and genres
• This program addresses questions about what people understand by the idea of literature in different times and places and why it matters, about who should have access to literature, either as readers or writers, about the power of literature to forge communities and, in doing so, to be a force for change, and about how these issues are influenced by broader legal, technological, political, and social contexts
• Collaborative specializations in African Studies and Digital Humanities are also available
• Carleton has recently added a collaborative specialization in Climate Change
• Students benefit both research-wise and career-wise from the wealth of institutions that are located in Canada’s capital city ​
