Faculty Research
Faculty in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences participate in impactful and award-winning research focused on the very things that make us human: language, history, education, religion, security, health, governance, and culture. CHaSS faculty work to addresses complex social issues, encourage diversity of thought, and reflect on past, present, and future challenges facing humanity. Their research impacts communities by encouraging students to discover what excites them and engaging society in meaningful dialogue and action.
Student Research
Students in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences are uniquely positioned to participate in active research. Undergraduate and graduate students alike enjoy opportunities to collect data, synthesize information, and to present their findings at conferences or for publication. Students acquire transferable skills as they curate exhibits, assist diverse communities, explore past civilizations, predict future conflict, and develop problem-solving strategies to respond to a dynamic future and prepare for changes taking place in the world and the workplace.
Community-Engaged Research
Faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences are engaged in research-related activities with community groups in Cache Valley and the region. Through these activities, faculty make meaningful contributions to local Utahans’ lives. Students gain real-world experience working with organizations in areas aligned with their majors, minors, and interests. Community-engaged research can be individual, group-based, or connected to courses that have sincere community contribution.
CHaSS Research Framework

Through their scholarship, mentorship of students, and engagement with the community, CHaSS researchers create understanding of the human experience. Our faculty produce data, scholarship, interventions, and creative works that energize stakeholders to tackle existing and future challenges facing humanity.
Our research centers, initiatives, institutes, programs and labs encourage interdisciplinary work that foregrounds undergraduate and graduate student mentorship.
