Overview

This Historical Sociology program offered at Charles University will teach you that Historical Sociology is not merely a hybrid link between history and sociology. It is a discipline based on the assumption that its general subject is historical and space-time determines social reality.

Key facts

Historical sociology is close to both a sociology discipline and historical sciences; it has several common or similar concepts, theoretical orientations, methodological approaches, and research questions, but it is not transferable in the case of sociology or history. It is not some mechanical joining of two disciplines but a specific research perspective and a specific Study Programme. The PhD Study Programme in Historical Sociology is designed to provide high-quality and demanding special training to those who want to pursue qualified scientific and research work – particularly of an analytical and comparative nature - in one of the areas that contemporary historical sociology deals with.

Programme Structure

Research themes include:

problems of modernization and social change.

globalization tendencies and impacts.

integration and disintegration processes.

continuity and discontinuity relationships.

religious and cultural pluralism.

interconnection of global and local
