Postgraduate students

Our postgraduate students are currently researching and writing theses on a richly diverse range of subjects that includes:

• the women’s movement in New Zealand
• the reproduction of inequality
• fascist aesthetic in late capitalism
• yoga tourism
• an ethnography of a new social justice movement
• religious and spiritual transformation in Latin America
• the quality of life found amongst elderly Chinese migrants
• neoliberalism and the legal profession
• the social and cultural context of recently infected HIV positive gay men

The diversity of these topics reflects the variety of interests and expertise of the Department of Sociology staff who supervise doctoral research. More information can be found on the staff homepages
