Our research is organised in two ways, because it answers to two kinds of question.

​

Research clusters are how we organise ourselves as sociologists. Each cluster gathers colleagues, postgraduate researchers and projects around a sustained line of enquiry — social inequality, crime and governance, culture and religion, economic life, health, population, and digital society. If you are an academic peer, a prospective research student, or a scholar looking for someone who works on your problem, start here.

​

Strategic Research Themes are how our work joins the collective agenda of the HKU Faculty of Social Sciences. The Faculty’s four themes cut across departments, and our colleagues contribute to all four — co-leading two of them. If you are a potential collaborator, a funder, or a partner in government, business or civil society looking for interdisciplinary capacity, start there.
