Multidisciplinary studies : an outline of cultural research at the Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador, 1999-2013

Abstract

Institutions of higher education are required to develop research in the different fields of study they teach. Therefore, Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador has conducted a variety of studies on issues of culture with the assistance of its different departments. The multidisciplinary approach in addressing research has provided a much broader, critical and professional knowledge of the problems that need to be solved. Some of the topics that the university has been able to develop in the last decade and a half of cultural research include the following: studies on ethnic and urban identities, popular religiosity, traditional medicine, material culture; biographical, historical, literary, historical-economic, and ethnographic studies, research in cultural heritage and historical and migrant sources.
