Main content
Research activities at the faculty are distributed across its four departments and two interdisciplinary centres which cover more than twenty disciplines. The faculty's two Centres of Excellence ensures innovative and groundbreaking research.
Research takes place in research groups or as individual projects linked to national or international networks, with internal or external funding. The research is disseminated through the faculty's teaching subjects, in scientific publications and through external activities.
The research is conducted in a wide range of languages, both in Norwegian, in the largest European languages, and more distant languages such as Arabic, Japanese and Chinese.
The fields of history, religious studies, cultural studies and digital culture explore important aspects of social life over long time spans from the Stone Age to the present day. Literature, art and theater are indispensable parts of our cultural heritage that must continually be communicated and reinterpreted from new perspectives.
