    Copenhagen University. Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies (ToRS)
    The Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies is concerned with those cultures, languages, religions and societies that lie outside Western Europe and North America. The focus is thus on current affairs in the parts of the world where the 21st century's economic and cultural conflicts have been highlighted - but in a historical perspective that stretches all the way back to the prehistoric hunters and gatherers, the very first village communities and the formation of the prehistoric civilisations of the Middle East, Asia and America. The department's research and teaching take as their point of departure regional and local phenomena as well as more general, comparative studies across cultures and borders. The programmes are based on linguistic and historical competences, and each culture is studied on its own terms and with its own language in a cross-cultural environment because cultures and societies cannot be desribed or understood as isolated entities. One of the core aspects of the department's efforts is the work to ensure that regional processes are seen in a broader, cross-cultural perspective. The cross-cultural perspective not only comprises academic challenges but also the potential for new insights into current conflicts in a globalised world.
