Sociology at the Department of Socioeconomics

In the sociology subject area, we focus on the social consequences of and conditions for economic activity. We look at individual actions as well as societal structures and institutions, and examine how they relate to one another. Research and teaching cover a broad spectrum of theoretical and empirical approaches. As part of the Department of Socioeconomics, we work with staff and students from the other subject areas and sociologists from the Department of Social Sciences.

References to papers and presentations in the sociology subject are can be found here (in German).

The subject area regularly organizes the research colloquium on sociology with current topics.

Eight professors and staff members currently work in the sociology area. The professors and staff members can be found in the staff directory as well.

Prof. Dr. Katharina Manderscheid currently heads the area.
