The Aberdeen Humanities Fund is an initiative to support leading research in the humanistic disciplines being conducted in the University, enriching the cultural life of the institution, the city and the surrounding region. 

In collaboration with the Special Collections Centre, and the Friends of Aberdeen University Library, the Aberdeen Humanities Fund has showcased a range of new work in relation to material held at Aberdeen, through the Stacks Alive programme.

• Dr Suk-Jun Kim (Music) The Aberdeen Bestiary: Sound-Image-Narrative
