Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Humanities

The Center was established on February 5, 2014. However, this date is all but formal: the Center’s faculty had been successfully implementing projects in the field of interdisciplinary research for several years before.

The idea of ​​turning to interdisciplinary research as a special phenomenon of modern academic was put forth by the Knorozov Mesoamerican Center of RSUH and was genetically associated with the creative impulse provided by the ideas of the brilliant Russian scientist Yuri Knorozov in the field of his interdisciplinary research on the interaction of history and linguistics.

The goal of creating the Center was to develop the following fields of humanities:

  • history of academic knowledge (study of Russian and foreign interdisciplinary research);
  • theories of academic knowledge (interaction of various fields of humanities);
  • practical academic knowledge (study and implementation of humanities in economic, social and political projects; practical application of indicators of humanitarian foundations of human life; research programs aimed at integrating science and humanities).
