HEX is an international research centre that focuses on the theoretical and empirical study of experiences in history, with three overlapping research teams:
- Lived Religion
- Lived Nation
- Lived Welfare State
HEX represents the history of experiences as a fruitful new way of doing social and cultural history. Researchers at HEX combine the history of experiences with a variety of different approaches: e.g. the history of emotions; welfare and nationalism studies; history of religious and social movements; study of hagiography; gender and oral history; digital humanities; and the history of childhood and youth.
