Research Centers

Centre for Family and Child Studies

Center for Family and Child Studies is one of the distinguished research centers of the Institute of Research in Humanities and Social Sciences (RIHSS) - the office of the Vice Chancellor for Scientific Research and Graduate Studies. The Center seeks to conduct a systematic, scientific, and sustainable study of the state of the Emirati and Arab family. This is achieved by monitoring the family challenges and understanding the new changes that occur in the life of the family and its members considering the cultural and civilizational diversity that we are witnessing today in a changing world.

Center for Applied Sociology Studies

Applied Sociology Research Center seeks to become one of the major centers of scientific research in the area of Applied Social Research in the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab world. The Center also seeks to become a center of excellence at local, regional and global levels in the fields of studies, research and community service in social issues related to the family, childhood and women, the elderly, crime and criminal justice in conformity with the vision of the University of Sharjah.

Sharjah Centre for Public Opinion Polls

The RIHSS proposes to establish a new center for Public Opinion Polls to serve our community, as well as other stakeholders across the University of Sharjah and across the UAE in collaboration with Sharjah Executive Council.

The center is expected to fill a much-needed gap in knowledge production about public opinion, and therefore, it is anticipated to build a future base of users across the GCC states and the whole Arab region.

The center builds on the success of the RIHSS, which has an exceptional research team consisting of experts in economics, law, media, sociology, education and Sharia. The RIHSS has an outstanding track record in partnerships with several institutes in the UAE to conduct research projects that have directly influenced their future strategies and programs.
