GEHIR is now officially hosted by the Centre for the Digital Research of Religion (CEDRR) at Masaryk University! CEDRR is an interdisciplinary research centre applying digital technologies and digital methods of analysis in research into religion. At a certain point in the history of our Department for the Study of Religions, parallel sprouts of computational historiography appeared, the scope of our historical focus extended, which resulted in new collaborations and projects. Therefore, a new centre was needed to encompass these endeavours. CEDRR is the new home for our research activities and gives us more space for transdisciplinary cooperation among colleagues from methodologically related projects at Masaryk University. We are truly looking forward to promoting the idea of generative historiography in this innovative and inspiring research environment!
Because we are CEDRR now, you can follow our activities on our Twitter (@CEDRR_MUNI) or on the CEDRR website. The GEHIR web page will be still available for you to browse, however, there will be no new content here. This is not by any means a goodbye, it is an invitation to follow our work in CEDRR.
Some members of the GEHIR project received funding from the Czech Science Foundation for a three-year project with the title: „Religions on the Ancient Mediterranean Networks: The Role of Primary and Secondary Centers in the Spread of Religious Innovations”.
