Our MPhil and PhD projects cover a wide spectrum of contemporary sociology including:

bodies, identities and experiences
culture and material life
'development' and the global south
emotions and intimacy
environment and society
imagining pasts and futures
sexualities and gender
sociology of ethics
sociologies of health and life sciences
sociology of law
visual and aesthetic cultures

Each of these themes represents the expertise of a member of staff actively engaged in sociological research.

Most of our research students are based in the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology, with some based in the Policy, Ethics and Life Sciences (PEALS) Research Centre.

Four research clusters act as the intellectual focus for the development and exchange of ideas. You will join one or more of these research groups:

Identities, embodiments and selves
Imagining pasts and futures
Power, inequalities and citizenship
Policy, Ethics and Life Sciences (PEALS) Research Centre

You can view some of our postgraduate research projects online. Our sociology seminar series means that you will be able to listen to experts on a regular basis - live or from a podcast.

We have numerous international links and there will be opportunities for some PhD students to conduct research abroad. We currently have postgraduate researchers in Taiwan, Korea, Germany and India.
