Studying sociology at the TU Dortmund University

"Fridays for Future" - short hype or new climate movement? What influence do apps like Tinder have on romantic relationships? Or the coronavirus crisis - what does the pandemic mean for social cohesion?

These are just a few of the topics we deal with in sociology and examples of how to (scientifically) address issues beyond everyday understanding.

Sociology is generally concerned with how people live together in societies. A variety of things that we encounter on a daily basis and sometimes seem self-evident are scrutinized.

How and why do such areas change or remain remarkably stable? Think, for example, of structures of social inequality or the hesitant implementation of climate policy goals, but also of family solidarity. Sociology provides a broad range of theoretical and methodological tools for exploring and critically reflecting on such contexts and processes.

How do you formulate a good question in a survey? Who do you ask in the first place? Is a survey in the pedestrian zone a "random selection"? How do you analyze the data? Not only methodological questions play a major role here, but also the different sociological fields.
