Culture: Identities and Diversities

A hub for addressing societal transformation through cultural diversity and change

Across transdisciplinary areas such as European regional culture, urban culture, leisure culture, and post-human friendships beyond the nature/culture divide, the Culture Hub explores the impact of matters of identities and diversities on societal challenges and transformations in Europe and beyond. It aims to create forums and resources for research-driven teaching and action with stakeholders. 

We are convinced that matters of identities and diversities will continue to play a fundamental role in the societal transformations and challenges that characterize the world we live in, here in Europe and beyond. And we are convinced that it takes the combined efforts of students, researchers, educators, administrators, and stakeholders from all disciplines to equip students with the skills and mindsets to meet these transformations and challenges head-on.

Want to make an impact? Our lists of educational formats (competence-oriented and challenge-based COILs, BIPs, Micro-credentials, excursions, and conferences) and topics (European regional culture, healthy cities, leisure culture, and post-human friendships) are long, but they are always open for one more addition and one more new idea.

We are transdisciplinary. We are European. We are research-driven and educational. And we are waiting for you.
