We offer a lively and collaborative research environment and maintain a strong international research profile. The department, founded in 1954, is particularly competitive in the areas of cultural sociology, demography, ethnicity and migration, gender, family sociology, political sociology, social policy regimes, social networks, and social stratification.
In this year's edition of the QS World University Ranking, sociology at Stockholm University has been placed 56th. We are thus the best in Sweden and second best in the Nordic region.
From 2025, demography will be included in the Swedish statistical standard for classifying research topics. This was decided by the Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) recently.
Poverty has a clear impact on the mental health of children, but when and how it happens is still unknown. A new research project, led by Lisa Harber-Aschan, will fill in the knowledge gaps using unique data sources and innovative methods.
