Sociology
Research at the Department of Sociology
Most of the research is carried out in two research clusters, which represent the different intellectual fields of the Department: EQUI (Employment, Qualification, Innovation) and STEPS (Science, Technology and Environment as Social Practices). These clusters bring together new fields of knowledge which are not usually linked in order to provide research innovation. For example, the STEPS cluster links medical and social sciences, the EQUI cluster links labour market, education and innovation. There are certain cross-cutting themes and interests which link all the groups together, namely: gender, the future of the work society, knowledge society, practice theory and comparative sociology.
