Research and Teaching

The Faculty of Cultural Sciences offers a wide range of research and teaching opportunities. Basic to this research and teaching are the fundamental manifestations of culture: language, literature, religion, music and art, in their relationships to history and society. Results of historical research are applied to problems of continuity and change, particularly to change in religious value systems. Comparative perspectives are emphasized.
