Our vision

We pursue the broadest range of research and innovation activities and always emphasise the relevance and appropriateness of our activities.

We reflect critically on all aspects of human society and culture, past, present, and future, and on the process of reflection itself. We investigate cultures and languages near and far, their ideas, texts, artefacts and landscapes, and we create the cultural capital of the future.

Working individually and collaboratively, we continue to develop innovative methods of enquiry within and across our disciplines. Our openness to enquiry and independence in asking and answering questions enables further understanding, allowing us to work creatively and to enhance our disciplines.
