PAScapes
We are a team of historians, geographers, philosophers, sociologists, heritage researchers, and archaeologists at Vilnius University, united by a commitment to exploring the interdependence of society and the environment.
The (Post)Authoritarian Landscapes Research Centre was founded on the principle that, in the face of the climate crisis, these questions demand an interdisciplinary approach to offer new knowledge and deeper understanding.

Our Focus
Collaboration. We seek new methodological approaches that enable the innovative integration of data collection and analysis tools from various humanitarian, social, and natural (physical geography) disciplines.
Comparison. We are dedicated to facilitating international collaborations and fostering partnerships with researchers from diverse backgrounds to conduct comparative analyses of societies that have experienced authoritarianism.
Awareness. Our work aims to explore the connections between local communities and their cultural landscapes, fostering a deeper appreciation of cultural heritage and enhancing community resilience.
