Chair for Sociology

Sociology investigates social behavior and how people interact with each other in various settings. One area of focus that is relevant to us is the study of work and organization. Today, work and organization are shaped by digital transformation, cultural change (such as Arbeit 4.0 and New Work), and their relation to the broader sustainability transformation (known as Twin Transformation).

The Chair of Sociology at the University of Hohenheim is a well-known institution that has an international reputation for its interdisciplinary research and research-based teaching. The focus is on the transformation of work, new work relationships, and the impact of digital transformation on individuals, organizations, and with regard to industrial relations. The Chair has a proven track record of conducting fundamental and practice-oriented research in this field.

At the University of Hohenheim, Sociology is a vital part of the Bachelor’s program in Management.
