WORK AND ORGANISATIONS
Our research is internationally renowned, examining a range of cutting-edge issues in the sociology of work and organisations to inform local, national and international level debate and policy.
There are seven research clusters in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology. They reflect the diverse and interdisciplinary nature of the research in the Department and some of the clusters are linked to other research teams and initiatives across the Faculty and University.
Our research is internationally renowned, examining a range of cutting-edge issues in the sociology of work and organisations to inform local, national and international level debate and policy.
Members of the cluster are involved in cutting-edge inter-disciplinary research which brings together diverse disciplines from the field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) studies.
This inter-disciplinary group seeks to broaden the parameters of policing and criminal justice research, reaching across institutions, the public sector and business to encourage collaborative working.
How to explain, understand and act on the social, cultural and political consequences of mobility and movement for sending and receiving regions and countries is one of the major contemporary challenges.
This cluster supports, promotes, shares and facilitates collaborations on research relating to families and the life course.
Members of this group do research on inequality, i.e. on the systematic unequal distribution of resources which are desired by all in societies.
The Research Methods cluster is primarily concerned with methods themselves, regardless of discipline or substantive interests.
