Gender Studies, Social Anthropology and Sociology form a new joint department

A red brick building surrounded by trees.

The change means that Gender Studies, Social Anthropology and Sociology and will become divisions in a larger department – the three subjects have already shared a building since August 2024.

The decision, taken by the Faculty Board of Social Sciences on October 17, is part of the larger process of reducing the number of departments at the faculty as a whole. The merger will formally take place as of January 1, 2025.

In connection with the decision about the merger, the new department has been awarded funding from the faculty to develop research collaborations and projects in the new environment which opens up exciting possibilities for the future.
