History and Culture
Cultural History
Cultural history brings to life a past time and place. In this search, cultural historians study beliefs and ideas, much as intellectual historians do. In addition to the writings of intellectual elites, they consider the notions (sometimes unwritten) of the less privileged and less educated. These are reflected in the products of deliberately artistic culture, but also include the objects and experiences of everyday life, such as clothing or cuisine. “Culture” can also imply everyday attitudes, values, assumptions and prejudices, and the rituals and practices that express them, from magical beliefs to gender roles and racial hierarchies. In this sense, our instincts, thoughts, and acts have an ancestry which cultural history can illuminate and examine critically. Historians of culture at Yale study all these aspects of the past in their global interconnectedness, and explore how they relate to our many understandings of our varied presents.
Science And technology
Science and technology may refer to:
• Science, a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of explanations and predictions about nature and the universe
• Technology, the collection of techniques and processes used in the production of goods or services or the accomplishment of objectives such as scientific investigation
• STEM fields, composing of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
• History of science and technology
• Science and technology studies
Language and Religion
All religions have a language associated with them. Learning that language plays a part in the practice of that religion though God is believed to be omniscient. “Silence is the language of Gods; all else is poor translation,” says a Sufi mystic
