̽��ֱ��new initiative from the Department of Sociology enables LGBTQ+ alumni to return to Cambridge to pursue research projects.

Renowned Cambridge astrophysicist and cosmologist Professor Lord Martin Rees has been named this year’s recipient of the world’s oldest and most prestigious scientific award.

A major research project sees sociologists situated at emerging hot spots of reproductive change, investigating the new ‘haves and have-nots’ in our fertility futures.       

Professor Kathy Niakan talks about why it’s vital to take a multidisciplined approach to understanding the urgent challenges posed by reproduction today – and introduces our Spotlight on some of this work, highlighted in the latest issue of Cambridge's Horizons magazine.

New report on LGBTQ+ experiences at the ̽��ֱ�� is now published. While many feel Cambridge offers a “safe and empowering” community, the report highlights the “emotional labour” of being LGBTQ+ at a leading academic institution. 

What is our place in the natural world – and how do we feel about the scientific advances that are changing the way we live? In her book Making a Good Life, Dr Katharine Dow explores the ethics of assisted reproductive technology in conversations with members of a small Scottish community dedicated to protecting the environment.
