The Institute for Analytical Sociology (IAS) at Linköping University conducts cutting-edge research on important social, political, and cultural matters.
IAS was established in 2014. It is administratively linked to the Department of Management and Engineering, but it has a university-wide mission and includes researchers from a range of different disciplines. IAS is governed by a board. Peter Hedström is the Director of the Institute and Sarah Valdez and Karl Wennberg are Deputy Directors.
A considerable part of the research at IAS is concerned with individuals’ mobility in different markets - the labor market, the housing market, and the school market. The main focus is on how these different markets intersect and influence one another. More specifically, we are concerned with the dynamic processes that lead to a concentration of individuals with certain socio-demographic characteristics in different workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods, and the consequences this has for the performance of the organizations and for the individuals themselves.
Irrespective of research area, the research at IAS maintains its identity by its focus on dynamic social processes, i.e., how individuals in interaction with one another over time bring about various macro-level outcomes. Experiments, big data, network analyses, simulations, and visualizations are the core ingredients of the research at IAS.
