Research communication at the Department of Sociology
In the last few years, we have intensified our work on communicating research to the public, journalists, potential students, policy makers, politicians, and other researchers. This is how we disseminate our research results, in brief.
- When possible, we put out press releases through Stockholm University’s central communications office. They decide what press releases we can send out directly to the media through the university’s central channels on Mynewsdesk and in SU's own newsfeed. If you want to learn how to put out a press realease, see our guide.
- For all other science news, we can publish them on our websites in our Swedish newsfeed, our English newsfeed and SUDA's newsfeed.
- Our news are often published in Stockholm University’s central newsletter – more information and previous newsletters here.
- We send tips to journalists on our studies through e-mail and, via the Department of Sociology's X (Twitter) and via SUDA's X (Twitter).
- We run two Facebook-pages, one for the Department of Sociology as a whole and one for the Stockholm University Demography unit, SUDA.
- Linkedin-page
- When our researchers comment in the media on their research topics, we share the articles and news items in our social media above, primarily on X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.
- We are affiliated with “Expertanswer”, a service from the Swedish Research Council where journalists seek researchers that are experts in different areas.
- We organize study visits at the department, primarily aimed at senior high school students.
