Faculty research themes
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has recognised a set of research themes across a range of disciplines around which we will concentrate our research activities.
By supporting collaborative, interdisciplinary communities of researchers with shared interests, we can ensure the University and Faculty continue to produce world-class, valuable research that has real impact locally, nationally, and internationally.
You can also read about the University of Liverpool's institution-wide research frontiers here. Amongst these, many Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences colleagues make significant contributions to the Heritage Institute and the Digital Media & Society Institute.
