The Historical Studies Research Environment

How have people thought, felt, and acted throughout history? How have thoughts turned into actions, texts, and images, and how are these understood and used today? Our research focuses on humans as meaning-makers from a historical perspective.

Division of History, Arts and Religious Studies (HKR)

We focus on how people think and act, how these thoughts are conveyed in texts, images, and artefacts in the past and the present, how they are understood and used, and how they are expressed in human actions, cultures, and politics.
