About the Centre

The CCR offers students a unique environment in which to undertake collaborative, interdisciplinary, cross-cultural research. In particular the Centre aims to develop new modes of research as well as to use traditional scholarly methods to provide innovative insights into the different ways that cross-cultural relations and histories are constructed and represented.

Objectives

  • To undertake a new mode of innovative comparative and cross-disciplinary research.
  • To widely disseminate the results of our research in accessible and innovative forms such as publications, exhibitions, films and new media.
  • To develop the interface between academic research and public education.
  • To exchange knowledge with other scholars, communities, organisations and governments.
  • To provide a uniquely stimulating environment for postgraduate research.
  • To initiate and further develop national and international linkages.
