Greek and Roman Studies (also known as Classics) is the study of the Ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome, which dominated the Mediterranean world for over a thousand years. At Carleton, GRS is housed within the College of the Humanities, together with a BA in Religion, and a Bachelor of Humanities. With eight faculty members from a variety of backgrounds and academic specialties, and a strong cohort of undergraduate students, GRS is a great program to work in. We offer an undergraduate Major and Minor degree in Greek and Roman Studies, and a Minor in Archaeology.
Digital Humanities at Carleton University offers an undergraduate Minor to be earned along with a Major in any subject, and a Collaborative MA degree, to be combined with another main MA degree. We offer more breadth than any other Canadian program, accepting applicants from thirteen different Master’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. The goal is to explore how digital technologies are changing our understanding of art, film, music, literature and popular culture; how new media are shaping our global communities, intercultural dialogued, and individual and collective identities; and to learn what new scholarly tools are available for studying and interpreting these developments.
The XLab – (CHI = Cultural Heritage Informatics) - This is a collaboratory which is both a space and a series of relationships at and beyond Carleton. It is a kind of transdisciplinary ‘skunkworks’ for fostering encounters with and between cultural heritage and digital media and computation. As a skunkworks, or a space for trying non-traditional or imaginative new solutions, it aims to bring together tenacious tinkerers, who are willing to experiment, to wonder, to try, and to iterate.
The Gabii Project is an international archaeological investigation. Launched in 2007, with excavations beginning in 2009, the objective was to explore the ancient Latin city of Gabii, a city-state that was both a neighbour of, and a rival to, Rome in the first millennium BCE. Located in the region of Italy once known as Latium, the site of Gabii was occupied since at least the tenth century BCE until its contraction in the second and third centuries CE. Amazingly, in subsequent centuries the site of Gabii was never developed or even substantially occupied, making it an ideal location for large-scale open area excavation of an urban site.
This collection is the result of the Capturing the Life Cycle of Ceramics in Rome (CALC-Rome) and Hidden Treasure of Rome (HTR) projects. From 2014-2016, University of Missouri archaeologists catalogued a previously unstudied collection of antiquities from Room V of the Antiquarium at the Musei Capitolini in Rome, whose transfer to MU was funded by Enel Green Power (EGP) as part of the Hidden Treasure of Rome (HTR) project. MU archaeologists been performed coordinated morphological study, chemical analyses, and a use wear study with structured light scanning, with the aim of understanding the production, use, and deposition of these objects. The results of the initial Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), 3D scanning, and formal analysis are archived here.
A massive database dedicated to highlighting the contributions of women in the ‘digging’ sciences throughout history: archaeology, geology, and palaeontology. Go get lost reading this.
This is an award-winning website and podcast dedicated to telling stories about “real people in the ancient world and the people who study them.” The focus of the project has especially been on highlighting the work of early career scholars and scholars from under-represented groups. They host many free, open-access resources. The project was initiated by a bunch of women scholars working at or from universities in Canada.
