Professor EmeritusRobert Van Krieken

Of Dutch parentage, but born in Hong Kong where I spent my primary school years. I came to Sydney in 1967, and on leaving school did a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Sociology at the University of NSW. I did my PhD at UNSW as well, supervised by Michael Pusey. I started working at the University of Sydney in 1979, and since then I have helped build up the Sociology programme, as well as the Socio-Legal programme more recently. I’m also active in the International Sociological Association.
