Career
After graduating from the Váci Street Primary School of Singing and Music and the Eötvös József Gymnasium in Budapest, Hadas earned a degree in Hungarian language and music education from the Juhász Gyula Teacher Training College (University of Szeged) in 1975. His first job was at the National Theatre of Szeged, where he worked as a musician and actor. In the late 1970s, he played keyboards and sang in various rock bands.
Between 1976 and 1979, he studied jazz at the Bartók Béla Secondary School of Music and was a guest student at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music's Department of Musicology. He also produced experimental theater performances based on music.
From 1978 to 1982, he studied sociology at the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), earning his university doctorate in 1983. From 1983 to 1985, he studied sociology under Pierre Bourdieu at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris.
From 1985 to 2020, he taught at the Corvinus University of Budapest (formerly the Karl Marx University of Economics), where he became a full professor in 2005. In 2001, he founded the Center for Gender and Cultural Research, and between 2016 and 2020, he served as head of the Doctoral School of Communication Studies.
Courses he has taught include social structure and stratification theories, introduction to sociology, sociological theory, history of sociology, sociology of sport, sociology of culture, historical sociology, gender studies, contemporary sociological theories, and studies on men and masculinities. In 2020, he resigned from Corvinus University in protest against organizational restructuring.
In 2011, he founded and led the Department of Sociology at Selye János University. Currently, he is an external researcher at the HUN-REN Centre for Economic and Regional Studies, focusing on the Hungarian minorities in Romania and Slovakia, and he teaches at the Doctoral School of Musicology at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music.
