Cross-Cultural Studies (CCS)

The research addresses these issues from the perspective of a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology of religion, philosophy, literary studies, materiality studies, sociology, regional studies, humanities-based cultural studies, and history.

The research focuses on how people experience and organize themselves around the world in different ways, and on how cultural meaning is created, maintained, and challenged. It often takes its point of departure in the conditions of specific regions, with particular attention to phenomena and processes that occur across cultural, social, and religious boundaries within regions as well as between regions.
