Doctoral projects at the Department of Economic History

The Department of Economic History hosts a dynamic and diverse community of some 25 active doctoral students. They come from different backgrounds, and many have been recruited internationally. With singular exceptions, the doctoral students are recruited by different research projects at the department. While contributing to the overall research aims of the projects, they also develop their own independent agenda.
