Doctor of Philosophy in Legal Studies

Carleton University

Our PhD program is designed for students with advanced research interests in the interdisciplinary study of law. The Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University has a long tradition of examining law within its broad social context, drawing on the tools and insights offered by different academic disciplines. Our faculty members reflect this commitment to interdisciplinarity as we are drawn from a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, history, political science, philosophy, public policy, sexuality studies and human rights.
