The Department of Sociology and Political Science conducts basic research and academic development in the fields of sociology, political science, sport science and media science. This provides a foundation for research-based teaching and involvement in topical social issues around key concepts to our disciplines: activity, communication, community, conflict, cooperation, democracy, inequality, legitimacy, organization, and power. We contribute to new insights and knowledge in the continuing development of theories, methods and empirical research.
