About
We are Ireland's leading centre for education and research in sociology. Our undergraduate students gain valuable insights and practical skills for thoughtful leadership, while our faculty and graduate students conduct groundbreaking and socially responsible research.
The faculty members at the School of Sociology possess a diverse array of research interests, employing a broad spectrum of research methods including comparative, qualitative, quantitative, computational, and historical approaches. Their work extends to examining social complexity and exploring emergent changes in our contemporary society. Our current research activities address issues of globalization, inequality, migration and diversity, social and policy networks, state and national identity, health and illness, criminology and socio-legal studies, gender and childhood, AI and society, and other topics.
