Framed Ocean. One minuscule section of the vast, all-connecting ocean, framed through a wooden box at a small island in Japan; yet this particularity is precisely what depicts its unique captivating reflections. Perception is similarly key to sociological research – beginning with particular bottom-up investigations, and then, widening the frame.

Third Place: Noah Powers (MSc City Design and Social Science)

As sites of concentrated human interactions and identity formation, for me, cities have always represented the prime site of sociological research. This is most true in a densely packed, sprawling city like Quito, Ecuador, where the possibilities for what one may discover are endless.
