For doctoral students, Economic Sociology as a subject offers the possibility to conduct research in a community that has comprehensive know-how. Doctoral studies in Economics Sociology cover a wide range of issues related to economic phenomena, with the focus on a sociological point of view. Central areas of research are:
- economic action
- consumption and lifestyle
- tourism and leisure time
- media and technology
- social structures and inequality
- social mobility
- studies on welfare state
- social sciences and philosophy of sciences.
The doctoral ES student can build her/his studies upon his own research interest. Every doctoral student is given personal advice and as intensively as possible. The doctoral students are set 1-2 Ph.D. level supervisors.
Those interested in doctoral studies are advised to contact Professor Pekka Räsänen before submitting their applications.
