Societies & Humanities Research Laboratory (LARSH)

Research unit

Description

The Societies & Humanities Research Laboratory brings together researchers in the human and social sciences of the UPHF. It aims to animate and disseminate research on major human and societal issues within and from our University. It engages with stakeholders in the socio-economic and socio-cultural world. It trains research and research students in doctoral thesis.

The laboratory brings together and structures a broad spectrum of disciplines: law, economics, management, sociology, political sciences, history, geography, civilizations, information and communication sciences, sciences and techniques of physical and sports activities, linguistics, literatures, arts.
We seek to deepen knowledge in these disciplines and to cross them in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary work to answer the major questions that work our societies. It is the host structure for PhD students in the human and social sciences, and trains young people who want to make their profession of research and those who want to add this asset to their future career paths. The laboratory works in close collaboration with the École Doctorale Polytechnique Hauts-de-France in the exercise of these missions.
