At the center of the Sociology Department's teaching and research activities is the area of social and institutional transitions in Central and Eastern Europe as well as associated patterns and outcomes. Of interest are the variations of post-socialist capitalism including the actors, welfare state regimes and issues related to work, employment and social inequality. The question of path-dependency is considered as well as the social dynamics in the European Union caused by expansion.
Teaching activities seek to convey a broad overview while being simultaneously anchored in the research focus of economic sociology and the sociology of work - both of which offer ties to diverse application areas.
