The "Economics & Sociology" PhD-workshop will take place on Thursday, October 15th and Friday,
October 16th, 2026 at the University of Strasbourg.
Presentation
The "Economics & Sociology" PhD-workshop (“Doctoriales Économie & Sociologie”) aims at contributing to the advancement of the work of doctoral students and young doctors who work, from a social science perspective (sociology, economics, political science) on economic topics: firms, consumption, markets, innovation, public services, economic policies, currencies, finance, public and private debts, accumulation of economic capital, platformization of the economy, etc. The meeting aims to showcase the renewal of research in economic sociology, in political economy and institutional economics, as well as the articulation of these different approaches to economic facts.
The main goal of this workshop is to provide a space for young researchers to present their work-in progress and to benefit from the feedback of sociologists, economists and political scientists interested
in these issues.
Participants
The workshop is open to all doctoral students who are already advanced in their work, and to young
doctors who have defended their dissertation after September 1st, 2023.
Languages
Work languages will be both French and English.
Topics 2026
For this edition, research papers focusing on the European dimensions of economic issues are especially invited. They may examine how EU institutions influence corporate behavior, market structures, and economic policies. The papers may also discuss the importance of transnational flows of people, assets, ideas, and market devices, or they may compare national or regional areas in Europe. However, the European focus is not exclusive, and papers that do not specifically engage with the EU-level or European issues are of course welcome.
