German and Sociology
This degree is distinctive because of the leading national and international reputations of both departments, the strong roots of classical sociology in German social thought and existing intellectual overlaps in research and teaching between staff in the two departments, especially in the fields of cultural studies and cultural theory, social history, critical social theory, construction of gender, nation and race. You will spend equal time studying the two subjects.
