Eilert Sundt (1817 - 1875) was a Norwegian theologist and sociologist, known for his work on mortality, marriage and other subjects among the working class. He was an early pioneer of the field of sociology in Norway.
As Eilert Sundt, we try to identify connections between individuals and society as a whole, in order to describe how and why society develops as it does. Through research, teaching and general communication we want to contribute to more knowledge and understanding, and to promote critical thinking.
Our activities:
The Eilert Sundt prize. A research prize for pupils in Upper Secondary schools in Agder and their projects on relevant social science topics related to the region.
Eilerts Salong. Researchers and debaters meet around a coffee table and presents a public discussion on current affairs.
The Eilert Sundt lecture. Each Spring the faculty invites a lecturer to give the Eilert Sundt lecture.
