It takes place in research groups or as individual projects linked to national or international networks with internal or external funding. Furthermore, there are several major research projects bridging the disciplines and combining expertise from various backgrounds in specific areas of interest. The research is disseminated through the faculty's teaching subjects, in scientific publications and through external activities.</p><p>The research is carried out in a wide range of languages, both our own language, the largest European languages, and more distant languages such as Arabic, Japanese and Chinese. History, religious studies, cultural studies and digital culture explore important aspects of social life in a long-term perspective from the Stone Age to the present day.
