AboutAbout the lab
Rethinking the study of culture from the ground up.
The Cultural Research Creation Lab fundamentally rethinks how human culture is studied, without being bound by existing disciplines, and aims to create new research perspectives and methods.
Going beyond collaboration with the social and natural sciences, it gives art studies a bridging role and seeks to expand cross-disciplinary research from the integration of the humanities and sciences to the integration of the humanities, arts, and sciences.
It also serves as a hub that integrates the results of other research divisions, and works to share its findings in Japan and abroad and return them to society.
Key terms
- Integration of the humanities and sciences
- Combining humanities and science disciplines in research
- Anthropology
- The study of human cultures and societies, which compares them through fieldwork and other means
