Master of Philosophy - Sociology

The Australian National University

In sociology you can focus your research on constructive engagement with the big issues facing Australian and global societies. The discipline's early focus on issues of inequality, stratification and the experience of migrants living in Australia played a major role in Australia's official shift to multicultural policy frameworks.Sociology aims to develop both your theoretical and empirical research skills and encourages both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Continuing this tradition of engaged and relevant sociological inquiry, major themes across the University's current teaching and research activities in sociology include:environment and societyembodiment and healthcrime and riskinequality and powerculture and identitycitizenship and politics
