Its purpose is to investigate the most pressing issues facing the present, as well as the past, of Georgia and the Caucasus. The Institute encourages scholars to engage in interdisciplinary research and to transcend disciplinary boundaries in their work, thereby supporting the emergence of novel theoretical frameworks through which to explore new objects of study.\n\n \n\n \n\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a5828e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a5828e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Research at the ISCR spans a broad swath of Georgian and Caucasian history, encompassing political, cultural, and social phenomena from the medieval period to today. Political theology, political economy, imperial governance and ideology, social, economic, and cultural dimensions of nation-state formation, Georgia\u2019s encounters with modernity and with successive projects of modernization combine to form the Institute\u2019s expansive area of inquiry. Most research projects at ISCR are grouped under four core research areas: (1) Political Theology in Georgia; (2) Imperial Paradigms; (3) Republics of Georgia, and (4) Infrastructures and Ecologies. At the same time, the ISCR welcomes scholars in the humanities and social sciences working on other aspects of Georgian and Caucasian history.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c617009 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1c617009\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ISCR is affiliated with a number of other ongoing research programs at Ilia State University, including with the doctoral programs in Cultural Studies and Social and Cultural Anthropology. These supplement the Institute\u2019s four core research areas with additional two core areas of research and instruction. These partnerships reflect the Institute\u2019s methodological approach, which strives to investigate current and historical social and political phenomena in Georgia and the Caucasus in their symbolic-cultural expression and to ethnographically grasp their historical origins and lived experience. These partnerships also serve to better integrate concurrent research and teaching efforts.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1114b626 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1114b626\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In the past, ISCR has partnered with several local and international research organizations and foundations.
