Overview
Faculty and students grapple with the big questions of communication including those relating to communications policy, the economics of media and constructions of social identity.
We offer tools for thinking about how to live in a complex world characterized by connections and misconnections, by institutions, laws and practices that determine how we use and interface with media, and by technologies that act as platforms for expressions of identities and as objects for policy.
At the Communication MA program from Carleton University we offer a range of courses organized around broad themes and theoretical traditions as well as subject-specific topics of contemporary interest. We also offer specializations in African Studies and Data Science
