Research in Sociology at Kent covers a range of areas including social and critical theory, social movements, globalisation and everyday life, cities and space, media and technology, class, ‘race' and ethnicity, gender, work, visual sociology, the welfare state, risk and society, violence, NGOs and organisations, and social aspects of the body. We offer high-quality supervision across a wide range of areas and we work carefully to match you with a supervisor who suits your interests and ambitions. There are further details on the research activities and publications of individual members of staff and the School's research units on the School's website. In addition to regular meetings with individual supervisors, all research students take part in a research training programme.


Contents

Academic staff at Kent share a number of interests, grouped here for your guidance. However, there is often a degree of overlap between groups and your research project does not have to fall neatly within any one of them. The School also has several research centres that bring together experts in the field, co-ordinate research, organise talks and offer opportunities for postgraduate students to get involved in discussions and research projects.
