We're committed to developing our postgraduates into skilled researchers who can conduct rigorous research using a variety of methodologies and methods. Research in sociology covers a range of areas, including: Art and literature; deviance; education; the sociology of governance and regulation; theories of industrial society; health, illness and psychiatry; interpersonal relations; knowledge; politics; ‘race’ and ethnicity; class; religion; values in society; childhood and youth culture; the body and society; social aspects of the life sciences and bio-medicine, science and technology; the expansion of capitalism on a world scale; urban studies; gender and the sexual division of labour; culture and communications. We emphasise the importance of the relationship between you and your supervisor: we ‘match’ you with a supervisor whose current active research interests and expertise are compatible with your chosen topic of research.
