This research cluster brings together colleagues working on a diverse array of topics related to the economy and economic life. The shared premise of our work is that economic action and economic institutions are fundamentally and unavoidably social and should be analysed as such. We draw upon classical and contemporary social theory to explore topics such as finance/financialisation, digital platforms, commodity and labour markets, work, consumption and consumer culture, climate change, risk, fiscal relations, valuation, and expertise. Our economic sociology is also oriented towards bridging other disciplines and subfields, such as science and technology studies (STS), environmental sociology, cultural sociology, stratification, family sociology, international migration, economic geography, and political economy. Our research cluster includes colleagues who use both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
