Research

The topics are diverse, covering fields like studies of sexuality, sustainable energy, genomics, gender and technology, consumption, and the sociology and history of the internet. The main emphasis is on cultural changes as a starting point for asking new questions about fields of study that the research focuses on.

The department strives towards a collectively oriented research culture, where people actively collaborate in their research work. The department has proven relatively successful in maintaining a large share of external funding.
 

Even though our researchers work across boundaries, we are organised around two main fields of research.

The Center for Gender Studies

- Primary focus on gender and cultural studies

The Center for Technology and Society

- Primary focus on science and technology studies
