At Södertörn University we combine subjects, perspectives, people and experiences, searching for surprising syntheses, challenges and development.
As a doctoral student in Sociology, you will join a research environment that offers multidisciplinary perspectives and an advanced curriculum.
The primary workplace for doctoral students is the Sociology Department at the School of Social Sciences, where they learn how to conduct independent scholarly research. Here, research is conducted within the following sub-fields of sociology: political sociology (e.g. social movements, protests, organisations, civil society); social stratification (ethnicity, class, gender); sociological criminology (surveillance, violence); sociology of social welfare and social policy; sociology of work; sociology of organisation; urban sociology; sociology of education; sociology of migration. While the discipline as a whole has a global analytical orientation, many of our projects focus specifically on the Baltic Sea region, Eastern Europe, the Nordic countries, and the European Union. Moreover, the Sociology Department and its doctoral students are involved in national and international sociology networks, as well as in multidisciplinary cooperation through the university’s Contested Democracy research platform and the university’s research centres Centre for the Study of Political Organisation and Reinvent – the Centre for City Dynamics.
