The summer school “Elites, Power and Inequalities” aims to become a meeting point of young scholars in this emerging interdisciplinary research field studying elites and the super-rich. Lectures given by leading experts will cover new theoretical and empirical issues such as wealth inequality, elite lifestyles, internationalisation of elites, race and elites or women in positions of power. The most important methods in the study of elites and power – network analysis, prosopography, ethnography or archival research – will be presented by international specialists. Participants will also have the opportunity to present and discuss their own research in specific sessions.
Target audience
This summer school is mainly targeted at Swiss and international PhD students – but upon demand places are also available for prospective PhD-students or early post-docs.
