The Institute for Culture and Society researches transformations in culture and society in the context of contemporary global change. It champions collaborative engaged research in the humanities and social sciences for a globalizing digital age.
Founded in 2012, the Institute's engaged research is committed to making a positive difference in the world. It is engaged ethically and reciprocally with others. The aim is to carry out innovative interdisciplinary research into continuities and transformations in culture and society in a way that contributes to understanding and shaping contemporary local and global life. This approach involves being reflexively engaged both with the world and in understanding the conditions and limits of its own knowledge practices.
Institute members work in a broad range of fields including cultural studies, sociology, media and communication studies, human geography, anthropology, history, museum studies, heritage studies, and urban studies.
The Institute for Culture and Society has five Research Programs responding to key challenges facing contemporary culture and society:
- Automated Worlds
- Borders and Migration
- Environment and Technology
- Queer Cultures
- Urban Futures
