The HUME Lab is a methodologically oriented research infrastructure that supports a range of disciplines and research objectives. There is a strong emphasis on collaboration and an interdisciplinary approach.
Research projects supported by the HUME Lab cover many aspects of human life, such as social solidarity, group hierarchy and group dynamics, educational communication in the classroom, emotional processing, empathy and trust, cooperation in groups, religious thought and behaviour, all from the perspective of different disciplines within the social sciences and humanities (anthropology, archaeology, economics, education, history, linguistics, psychology and religious studies).
