For new international students
After taking the first course "Cultural evolution: theory and observations", you here proceed with examining an explicit area more thoroughly. You will produce an interdisciplinary paper on a topic of your choice related to the emergence, spread or change of culture. The topic of the project will be defined in agreement with the one of the teachers who is specialised in your area of interest and should be theoretically grounded in one of the research fields within the humanities or social or natural sciences. You will have one or two supervisors from the team of teachers that covers a wide range of subjects in the humanities, social and natural sciences, including cultural evolution, sociology, linguistics, psychology, history of ideas, archaeology, mathematics and biology. You also get to read and discuss your fellow students’ projects covering topics from widely different areas and thus further increase your interdisciplinary competence.
