Research Clusters

The IHR facilitates and supports diverse Research Clusters at ASU. Our aim is to assist research and communication among scholars and to enrich the intellectual climate of the university. The Research Clusters may serve as an entry point for faculty to engage with the IHR. They should support activities related to the IHR mission to:

· foster innovative interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research;
· examine today’s most important issues from humanistic perspectives;
· promote and support excellence in humanities scholarship;
· engage the university community in meaningful dialogue and exploration.
