Overview
About the programme
Typical sociological subject areas are power, social stratification, organization, culture, social movements, racism, sexism, conflicts, marginalization, alienation and social norms.
Sociologists also study politics and explain how ethnic conflicts arise, investigate how people are affected by work and economy, how people's health and working conditions are affected by organizational structures or explore religion in order to understand how identities and groups are formed.
In other words, Sociology's ambition is to emphasize the importance of social processes and interpersonal relations in the analysis of political, economic, cultural, legal and media processes, regardless of whether the object is society as a whole, or the life context of individuals. This programme is offered at Stockholm University.
