Meet our researchers
Our researchers are individual scholars writing books, or directors of international research teams (and everything in between). They probe the nature of the individual as it may be revealed by art, philosophical enquiry, cross-cultural understanding, or language. They explore aspects of human behaviour (even in its extremes in the study of the Holocaust), and the factors which influence that behaviour (such as gender, or culture). Here is a sample of some of the research projects our faculty members are pursuing.
