Video | Are you a student interested in Rural Sociology (RSO) and wondering how it compares to Sociology of Development and Change (SDC) at Wageningen University & Research?

At Rural Sociology, we study societal change, inequality, and power with a focus on food, agriculture, and rural development. In this video, we explore how RSO and SDC approach these topics differently and what that means for your studies and research opportunities.

How does this relate to your interests? Our PhD researchers take you to Fruitproeverij Zandberg, an alternative agriculture site, to show how both groups conduct real-world research—helping you discover which themes and methods resonate with you.

Watch now to explore your options for courses, theses, or future research. Still unsure? Reach out to our education coordinator or drop by our hallway for a chat. A special thanks to Fruitproeverij Zandberg for allowing us to film at their inspiring location!
