Sociological Theory
Welcome to the chair of sociological theory
In the bachelor’s program, our teaching includes the introduction to sociology and we engage with a wide range of sociological theory traditions. In the master’s program, we offer courses on experimental sociology and computational social science.
Our group conducts cutting-edge research on important social, political, and cultural matters, with a focus on developing deeper, mechanism-based understandings of social phenomena.
As analytical sociologists, we employ a range of methods and techniques to study individual behavior, its interactions, and their societal consequences. We use a combination of experiments, agent-based simulations, machine learning, social network analysis, and statistical models applied to digital trace, text, survey, and population register data to explain these processes.
