The Course in Sociology analyzes man as a social being by linking abstract general theory with positive empirical research. Two chairs, Theoretical Sociology and Empirical Sociology , form the major axes. Three more chairs, Communication Theory , Social Group and Organization Theory, and Dynamics Sociology Theory , complete the organization of the Course. The Department of Sociology gives several intensive short-term lecture series. Lectures in branches of sociology that are given by visiting professors provide numerous elective subjects.
Interdepartmental connections are very active.
Theoretical Sociology has connections with the theoretical branches in the Course in Anthropology .
