Humanities Research
Humanities researchers are united in their exploration of human culture. The questions asked and the methods employed, however, are as varied as human culture itself. You can find us in art studios, and archives; we conduct experiments in laboratories and engage in research in many communities. We produce knowledge and understanding that fuels minds, opens doors and builds bridges.
Please contact me to talk further.
