We offer more breadth in this area than any other Canadian program, accepting applicants from thirteen different Master&#8217;s programs at Carleton: Anthropology, Applied Linguistic and Discourse Studies, Art History, Canadian Studies, English Language and Literature, Film Studies, French and Francophone Studies, History, Music and Culture, Public History, Philosophy, Cognitive Science, and Sociology.<\/p>\n<p>Students will undertake original research in their home disciplines while engaging with students and faculty from across the university. Those\u00a0who opt for the practicum component will have the opportunity to work closely with public and private-sector partners who rely heavily on digital media, including partners in the entertainment, media production, library and archives, museum, digital gaming, travel and tourism, advertising and technical writing sectors.<\/p>\n<p>The DH Coordinator for 2025-2026 is Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/people\/shawn-graham\/\">Shawn Graham.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"capital\"><\/a>Capital Advantage<\/h3>\n<p>Our program capitalizes on Carleton\u2019s unique location in the National Capital Region (NCR).
