Hans Geser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Geser (born 26 March 1947 in Rapperswil) is a Swiss sociologist.

Geser was a professor at the University of Heidelberg from 1983 and was appointed to the University of Zurich in 1986, where he taught at the Sociological Institute until 2012. From 2002 to 2004 he was director of the Sociological Institute.

His research areas include political sociology, sociology of small states, community and party sociology, organizational and professional sociology, and new communication technologies, which is why he is also called the "Internet guru" among scientists.[1]
