ABOUT US
The dynamics of processes of cultural change and innovation have varied dramatically across various historical timeframes and places. The“Principles of Cultural Dynamics (PCD)” network, based at the Dahlem Humanities Center at Freie Universität Berlin (FUB), desires to research the factors that may account for what triggers processes of cultural innovation, what catalyzes and hinders them, respectively, and what causes them to subside entirely. The PCD network is a four-year project funded by German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and has six partner institutions/institutes:
1. Dahlem Humanities Center (DHC), FUB
2. Mahindra Humanities Center, Harvard University
3. Faculty of Humanities, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
4. Research Institute for the Humanities, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)
5. École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Paris
6. Humanities Center, Johns Hopkins University
