Research at RSCR
At Radboud Social Cultural Research (RSCR), we aim to improve the understanding of (the processes leading to) inequalities in various societies.
Changing Inequalities, Inclusive Societies
We study how people's diversities, e.g. their identities, demographic background and context, affect inequalities in their access to social, cultural, economic and natural resources and in their opportunities for education, employment, personal growth and health. We study how people's engagement in (in)formal organisations and networks changes inequalities and analyse the factors contributing to differences within and between countries.
Research departments
Sociology
In the Sociology Department, we study attitudes and behaviours in mostly Western societies; we conduct quantitative research on themes such as educational inequality, inclusion processes, family formation, and lifestyles.
