What is the Radical Humanities Laboratory?

The Radical Humanities Laboratory will work across disciplinary boundaries and UCC’s four Colleges to explore the roots of global societal crises, defining the fundamental challenges and developing holistic, transformative, solutions. It will provide the capacity, liberty and environment for radical thinking and its application, enhancing creative and inclusive interdisciplinarity through research focussed on the critical interfaces between disciplines, the University, society and the public sphere.
