Sociology

The focus of Sociology is the study of industrial and post-industrial societies. It involves the investigation of human groups, communities, institutions and organisations, and the networks of meaning and association which link individuals and groups to the broader social structure of such societies.

PhD and research masters programs are available in areas including: Australian society; social policy; applied social research; gender studies; religion; migration and urban affairs; homelessness; social theory; sociology of work; mass media; popular music; social psychology; deviance; family studies; economic sociology; ethnicity and minority relations; research methods; and comparative sociology.
