summary:

the College of Arts and Humanities At Sheffield University, it includes four schools. We think critically in all aspects of human society and culture (past, present and future) and on the process of thinking itself. We are looking for cultures, near and distant languages, their ideas, texts, artifacts, and landscapes. We aim to create cultural capital for the future. By working individually and cooperation, we constantly develop innovative ways to investigate and across the disciplines. Our openness to inquiries and independence in asking and answering questions allows more understanding, allows us to work creatively and enhance our specialties.
