Podcast | Why doesn’t society change at the same rate everywhere?

The new Master’s program in Sociology in Salzburg launches in October 2026—and it’s not just another run-of-the-mill Master’s program. It has a clear focus: understanding societies. Analyzing spaces. Exploring transformations.

The June episode of SICHTBAR HÖRBAR is all about this very idea. Holger Faby talks with Klara Brandis and Brigitte Schels about why social change doesn’t happen in the abstract, but right now, in the midst of life, here and there.

Klara brings the student perspective: What makes a master’s program interesting when you’re about to make a decision? Brigitte explains why the new master’s program brings sociology and social geography together—and why “space” here isn’t just a backdrop, but part of the play.

An episode for everyone thinking about a master’s program—and for everyone who doesn’t just want to say: Society is complicated. But rather asks: How does it all fit together? How can it be studied? And what do you do with that analysis?

Don’t just read society. Analyze society.
