political science

The multidisciplinary research group URBinN has a thematic focus on urbanization, urban and regional planning and sustainable development of small and medium sized urbanities in a global perspective with an initial focus on Nordic remote areas. The motive for this interest is the somewhat under-researched area of social, spatial, historical and economic processes related to the origin, functioning and planning of smaller urbanities in general.

The group offers interdisciplinary expertise from sociology, philosophy, political science, social work, health sociology, multiculturalism and qualitative/quantitative methods.

The interdisciplinary research group Knowledge, organization and society has expertise in sociology, political science and economics
