Members explore a diverse array of topics, including AI and online life, contemporary state structures, racial capitalism, knowledge production dynamics, climate emergency responses, medical artefacts, social class dynamics, education systems, privatisation of public services, spatial analysis, cultural industries, and architecture. The breadth of our research interests underscores our commitment to inclusivity and pluralism, as we recognise the complexity and interconnectedness of social experience.
Despite the wide-ranging nature of our inquiries, our cluster members share common interests in theoretical and methodological approaches within sociology. These shared foundations enable us to collaboratively shed light on the various social experiences we investigate. Rooted in critical perspectives on power and inequality, our cluster is reflective of a long and proud tradition in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy, and Criminology, dating back to its founding in 1905.
If you're interested in joining the Liverpool Sociological Research Cluster, please contact Dr Paul Jones or Dr Leon Moosavi as Co-Directors.
