The PhD Scholarship is part of a Sapere Aude research project on ‘Crowd Dynamics in Financial Markets’, which is funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research. The overall research project examines how discourses of crowds have been mobilized to understand financial markets, historically as well as today. The aim of the PhD scholarship is to investigate how discourses of crowds have been adopted to understand financial markets in the twentieth century. Information about the ‘Crowd Dynamics in Financial Markets’ research project can be found at https://info.cbs.dk/borch.
The ideal applicant has experience with (historical) discourse analysis and has strong competences in social theory and economic sociology/the sociology of financial markets. The PhD scholarship is expected to commence on 1 September 2013.
