Maynooth University Department of Sociology

Welcome to a leading national and international Department of Sociology, including our innovative Centre for the Study of Politics.

In a time of crisis and uncertainty, we search for an understanding of the world around us - in our teaching, research, and public engagement. We offer a vibrant social and intellectual community that is networked into other departments and institutions at Maynooth University and the community of sociology and politics scholars worldwide.

Our website will give you an introduction to our research, publications, public engagement, staff, and our undergraduate, international and postgraduate programmes.
