The 2025 Hans L. Zetterberg prize goes to Achala Gupta.
The Hans L. Zetterberg Prize in Sociology is awarded annually to young researchers from Sweden or abroad, who with their scholarly work in sociology, preferably by fruitfully combining theory and practice, have advanced the research front. The prize sum is SEK 100,000 (USD 11,000 or EUR 9,500).
Dr Achala Gupta is an independent researcher with a solid background in classical sociology who is breaking new ground in the area of sociology of education. Her research has, among other things, provided insights into how alternative arenas for learning affect students' and teachers' attitudes to education and learning processes, such as commercial institutions that offer tutoring and training. In addition to her strong scientific production, Gupta heads the Centre for Research in Inclusion at the University of Southampton.
