Center for Urban Studies
Description
The center deals with systematic and comparatively focused research on urban issues. The activity of the Center for Urban History (CUH) is mainly focused on the study of urban life in the territory of Central and Central Eastern Europe. Urban society in general represents an ideal subject for analytical research into culture and societal transformations over time, urban issues must be seen as an interdisciplinary research field. CUH is thus not a historical workplace in the traditional sense, but a workplace using the methods and approaches of history, sociology, statistics, demography, cultural anthropology, etc. Research within the Center of Urban History is closely connected with the pedagogical activities of its members and external collaborators, who present the results of their research at lectures and regular seminar classes.
