Humanities

In a rapidly changing and globalising world we are confronted with many social, political, environmental and economic problems, some which are more intractable than others. It is increasingly acknowledged that the humanities are well suited to producing the types of research that can generate appropriate solutions to many of these problems.

Research capacity is enhanced through its 11 Research Chairs, Institutes, Centres and Units, international partners, and faculty research themes.
