The Department of Sociology of Hong Kong Baptist University is a small department with colleagues pursuing research that best reflects their strength. We seek to create foci of efforts that can contribute to the development of sociology as a discipline and to addressing social issues of increasing local and international significance
Our research interests cluster around four major areas, including:
1 | Gender, family and life course |
2 | Social networks and social inequalities |
3 | Globalization and social change |
4 | Cultures and identities |
Situated in the context of Hong Kong and greater China, our research work offers theoretically informed and empirically supported analysis to address issues brought forth by changes in contemporary societies in general.
