Mission
Statement
IASH interprets the word 'humanities' in the broadest sense:
all matters concerning the human condition and culture fall within
its range of interest, excluding only those which need the support
of laboratories. We place particular importance on work that crosses
the borders of the disciplines, believing that it is the task of research
institutes such as this to facilitate dialogue between scholars of
different backgrounds and to make a space where critical thinking
can be free to go beyond the traditional compartmentalisations. We
encourage work that is inventive and exploratory, and especially work
that forges links between the humanities and the interpretive or historical
social sciences, including legal theory, and between the humanities
in this broad sense and the natural and technological sciences.
