Our research
Innovative research addressing contemporary challenges in society.
Our research brings about instrumental changes locally, nationally and globally. We work closely with policymakers, service providers and practitioners to ensure that our research has real-world impact.
At York, you'll learn how to think sociologically, engage in sociological analysis of your own, and have the opportunity to discuss the most pressing sociological issues of our time. The work of academic staff and fellow students creates an intellectually and personally supportive learning environment.
