We provide a wealth of opportunities for postgraduate researchers. Some of our main research themes include: social inequality and stratification; race, ethnicity and migration; networks and relations; social movements and protest; place and everyday life; culture and consumption; methodological innovation. Recent PhDs have included topics as diverse as internet use in Iran, branding in AIDs awareness advertising, and how class differences affect access to higher education.
