Carleton University is proposing an innovative interdisciplinary Master of Arts and graduate diploma in Migration and Diaspora Studies. These programs will be the first in Canada to combine Migration Studies and Diaspora Studies in one graduate degree/diploma program and one of the few institutions to do so internationally to do so. The programs focus on the social, economic, cultural and political implications of the movement and transnational settlement of people. They bring together scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and public affairs with the aim of creating a collegial community for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary inquiry into Migration and Diaspora Studies.
