Center for Area Studies
The Center for Area Studies (CAS) unites the competence within the fields of area studies existing in the humanities and social sciences at Freie Universität. It fosters co-operation between different institutions and systematically cultivates transregional approaches. North America, Latin America, Eastern Europe, East Asia and the Middle East are traditional focus points of research and teaching at the Freie Universität. Other regions of the world, such as Western Europe and Africa are included in today's areas of focus.
