Organisation profile

The Institute of Sociology and Cultural Organisation (ISCO) is part of the Faculty of Cultural Studies. The research at ISCO is focused on topics of sociology and on issues of cultural organisation(s) in society. Mostly in the degree programs of the Faculty of Cultural Studies we teach general sociological and cultural theoretical courses and interdisciplinary courses of organisational theory with respect to arts and culture. At the following Websites you will find more detailed information about our areas of research and teaching in sociology and cultural organisation.

Main research areas

In der Forschung ist das Institut an den Schwerpunkten „Kulturen des Konflikts“ und „Digitale Kulturen“ beteiligt. Hier bringt es Analysen im Bereich der soziologischen Theorie, der politischen Soziologie, der Migrationsforschung, der Rechts- und Kriminalsoziologie, der Arbeitssoziologie, der Soziologie der Kultur sowie der Technik- und Medienforschung, aber auch Analysen von Geschlechterverhältnissen ein. Mit seinen Arbeiten leistet das Institut einen Beitrag zum Erkenntnisfortschritt auf unterschiedlichen Feldern des Soziokulturellen und seines Wandels.
