University research themes
At York, researchers collaborate across the University's seven interdisciplinary research themes to address the great scientific, social and environmental challenges of our times.
Our department has particularly strong partnerships within three themes: Culture and Communication, Creativity and Technologies for the Future.
Culture and Communication
Our researchers explore the cultures of many periods and places. Their work is advancing and challenging how we understand the world.
