PROGRAM<br>\n<\/strong>The PhD in Cultural Mediations was created to foster theoretically informed approaches to art and culture that cross traditional disciplinary divides. <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/icslac\/student-profiles\/\">Cultural Mediations students<\/a> are trained in both interdisciplinary methodologies and a particular discipline in order to nurture both innovation and mastery of a field of study. Selecting from four areas of specialization \u2014 Literary Studies, Musical Culture, Technology and Culture, and Visual Culture \u2014 they have the freedom to blend <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/icslac\/courses\/\">courses<\/a>&nbsp;and pursue <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/icslac\/theses-and-dissertations\/\">research projects<\/a>&nbsp;that call for interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective and might not otherwise find a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>A SHIFTING CONTEXT<\/b><br>\nThis unique program addresses a growing need as traditional ways of organizing knowledge are shifting. More and more, single-discipline departments as well as cultural and governmental agencies are seeking appointees with inter- or multidisciplinary abilities and cross-cultural literacies. These positions require a training with an increased intellectual and cultural scope. In is in this context, that the PhD in Cultural Mediations provides an opportunity for <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/icslac\/focus-on-graduate-research\/\">innovative doctoral research<\/a> that challenges traditional disciplinary boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OUR INSTITUTE<br>\n<\/strong>The program finds its home in the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture, known as ICSLAC. The Institute is a haven for intellectually rebellious researchers, with access to an accomplished and eclectic <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/icslac\/faculty\/\">academic community<\/a>. We provide a collegial, vibrant and creative environment, where research transcends conventional boundaries and where inter-disciplinary ideas and new dimensions of thought open up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FOR MORE INFORMATION:<br>\n<\/strong>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/icslac\/prospective-students\/admission-requirements\/\">Program requirements<\/a><br>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/icslac\/prospective-students\/funding\/\">Funding<\/a><br>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/icslac\/prospective-students\/admission-requirements\/\">Admission<\/a> (note that all application documents are submitted online.
