Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy (MPP) at Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a vacant PhD scholarship within the fields of historical and/or economic sociology, with a special focus on the productive tensions between religious imaginaries and economic rationalities. Research on the relationship between state, civil society and markets has recently witnessed a turn towards religion. We are interested in PhD projects that are situated within this wider turn and, amongst others, aim to study the influence of theological concepts on economic theorizing in both Western and non-Western contexts (economic theology and conceptual history); conduct comparative analysis of economic and religious practices in specific socio-economic contexts (economic sociology); investigate modes of sacralisation/sanctification and de-sacralization/profanation in economic practices, both past and present (economic anthropology); and explore the contribution that historical analysis in general can make to our theoretical understanding of market logics (historical sociology and economic history).
