Find An Expert
For journalists and others looking for an academic to provide an expert comment or background on a story. Sociology and social anthropology can be applied in many ways to analyse society.
Research on society and culture
How does everyday life change when traditional standards, ways of learning and institutions are dissolved and replaced? How do people create meaning, knowledge and order in a society where large groups of people are unable to live up to society's expectations? Our researchers at the Department of Sociology try to answer questions like these daily.
