REDES PROJECT
REDES (Research and Development in Empirical Studies)
is an international project born of the cooperation between the
universities of Alberta (Canada), Kiev (Ukraine), Munich (Germany) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). It aims at promoting the scientific study
of literature and culture from a multi-cultural perspective and at
developing a tradition in which student participation in empirical
research will become self-evident. Each center develops local group
discussions with graduate and postgraduate students and the
coordinators. The discussions are posted on the
portal,
where international collaboration takes place. We believe this
interaction will produce not only new research projects but will also
contribute to change teaching methodologies.
Among its objectives, REDES intends to:
-
disseminate empirical research
methods for the study of human culture;
-
promote international contact
between beginning students of literature and culture;
-
stimulate students to actively
carry out research independently from a early stage in their studies
onwards, with the possible prospect of becoming researchers within
(and beyond) academia;
-
enable the development of
intercultural research through the use of a digital forum.
