Department Day 2023

Streetart

Calling all our sociology fellows – come and join us for a festive day to meet students, researchers, and colleagues.

This year's program addresses a very important dilemma or issue regarding our role as sociologists in contemporary society. Through a roundtable debate, you will hear four researchers from the Department of Sociology discuss their different perspectives on their roles as sociologists. They will explore being in the public eye, being solely scientists, or perhaps being an essential part of the political or activist landscape.

The discussion of this topic invites all audiences to participate.
