Abstract

Over the past few decades, there have been increased discussions on the relationships between research and teaching in higher education, subject to influence from a variety of structural and agentical factors that change over time. This paper is based on an international comparative research project, and it explores the overall patterns of how sociology BA degrees are set up in the three case-study countries of Norway, England and Hungary. It a) analyses curriculum documents to pinpoint how ‘research’ appears in these degrees; and b) illuminates how students at different stages of their studies see the process of sociological inquiry. The early introduction of research methods courses means students often feel they gain some level of expertise, however, at this stage research is a practice of others that exists as texts. The feelings of belonging to the sociological community are intertwined with the practice of research becoming personalised.
