Barbara Thériault applies a Weberian framework to her research interests which include: Sociological theory, Sociology of religions, and the Sociology of contemporary Germany. Currently, she is engaged in several research projects and notably, The “Carriers of Diversity” – a study on religion, toleration and the police in Germany. Dr. Thériault is interested in particular types of actors: “progressive” characters within semi-total organizations. Beyond their empirical interest, these characters raise an inherent challenge; how to transform from within or survive such organizations? Additionally, she is participating in three projects with The Canadian Centre for German and European Studies.
