Rethinking Human Nature
The research initiative Rethinking Human Nature aims to develop humanistic cross-disciplinary research with a focus on GIS and landscape perspectives. We arrange a seminar series highlighting various methodological and theoretical issues involved. The seminar is aimed at archaeologists and others who are interested in interdisciplinary science and GIS methodology.
