About us
Welcome to the pages of the Chair of Sociology, especially Social Research Methods.
Social research methods enable us to systematically collect, evaluate and interprete data on social facts. Research is focussed on social inequality in the welfare state, for example with regard to employment or education. Often a comparative perspective is applied. Teaching is focused on methods, in particular quantitative but also on topics related to our research. We teach in the department’s Bachelor and Master programmes and in the Faculty’s Graduate school.
