The DiSSGeA Department promotes high-quality research on human civilizations across a broad spatial and temporal spectrum — from ancient Greek and Latin cultures to contemporary global dynamics. As a multidisciplinary center of excellence, it integrates historical, geographical, anthropological, literary, economic, and political-social approaches.
