Humanities Research Institute
We celebrate and promote humanities-led research across the university and beyond.
Welcome to the Humanities Research Institute
Home to a vibrant humanities-led learning and research environment, open to everyone.
The Humanities Research Institute champions collaborative and interdisciplinary research that is enriched by the humanities.
We bring together scholars, students, partner organisations and the public to develop ideas that are both rooted in the local community and have truly global reach.
How we help
Our mission is to:
- Engage the humanities in challenge-led interdisciplinary research.
- Explore new ways of working collectively to address these challenges.
- Shape research agendas and practices for the future.
We do this by:
- Convening interdisciplinary conversations that address our most pressing societal challenges from multiple perspectives.
- Connecting people who share a passion for a topic and want to work collaboratively across disciplines.
- Creating spaces for high-risk, blue-sky thinking.
- Promoting an inclusive culture of scholarship across research and education, in a working environment in which all research-related labour is visible.
We support these activities through the following pathways: Institutes Research Fund; Challenge Lab Co-Research; Faculty Research Groups (FRGs) and Networks.
