Society

People in the social space

The University of Zurich investigates important social issues and explores the causes that lead to inequalities in the social system.

The humanities projects at the University of Zurich deal with the social constructs of our society. Researchers analyze economic and social changes or trace the intersections of space and language.

The projects also reach deep into history. Thanks to donations, for example, the correspondence of the reformer Heinrich Bullinger can be made accessible online for everyone. As a donor, you are actively helping to find answers to important questions in our society.
