The English Department’s PhD program was founded in 2006. The program’s unique focus on the “Production of Literature” explores the circulation and reception of texts and explores literature as a relational field produced by material and cultural conditions, as well as a field that itself produces culture. Current PhD students are studying in a variety of fields including, but not limited to, medieval manuscript culture, Renaissance drama, print culture, modernism, Canadian culture, indigenous literatures, and the Digital Humanities. The department also hosts a one-year MA program with the option to specialize in African Studies or Digital Humanities.

The department hosts a cohort of engaged, collegial students who participate in reading groups, scholarly collaboration, and engagement in the Carleton graduate student community. Students benefit from the PHD Speaker Series as well as Research Talks from faculty members.

“Producing the Archive” is supported by the English Department and proudly organized by the English Graduate Student Society (EGSS), a student-run group that is part of a vibrant graduate student community.
