Welcome to Sociology at Paderborn University!
The Sociology Department in Paderborn combines theoretical approaches from the sociology of work, education,organization and gender studies. The focus is on understanding and explaining social transformations such as digitality, sustainability, and migration. Paderborn sociology uses qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches as well as computational social science in research and teaching. On this pages we would like to offer you an overview of our work areas, research focuses, and our teaching profile.
