PRME Nordic PhD Course
The Nordic PhD course “Sustainability and CSR in the Nordic Context” (2022-2023 edition)
The course brings together Nordic faculty from different business fields and wider disciplines to emphasize the cross-disciplinary nature of the subject. The course is split into three modules given conjointly by six different Nordic business schools:
Jönköping International Business School
Hanken School of Economics
Stockholm School of Economics
Copenhagen Business School
Oulu Business School
Umeå School of Business, Economics and Statistics.
Two modules are organised on location in Stockholm and Oulu, and one module is held online.
The course asks the question: what is the state of Nordic Sustainability research – and where should we be going? The question is approached through some key themes within Nordic CSR and sustainability research.
Module 1: Introduction to global challenges and Nordic research on sustainability.
Module 2: Critical perspectives on sustainability in business and organisation research
Module 3: Ecological philosophy, postmodern ethics and the circular economy
The course also aims to create a space for student collaboration and discussion around the possibilities of research collaboration across the Nordic region. The current plan is for the course to produce an edited book, to which all participating doctoral students, writing in pairs, will contribute with chapters. The initiative for the course is grounded in the UN Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), with the aim to inspire and champion responsible management education, research and thought leadership globally.
The Nordic Ph.D. course was able to provide student/faculty travel of/to the Ph.D course via generous external funding attained through the following foundations: Marcus Wallenberg's Foundation for Research in Business Administration; Peter Wallenberg Foundation; Kulturfonden för Sverige och Finland; and The Joint Committee for Nordic research councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NOS-HS)
Additionally the Joint Committee for Nordic research councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NOS-HS) has also granted funding for a joint PRME Nordic workshop targeting faculty and early career researchers through “explorative workshop on Nordic approach to business sustainability”, which will be organized at the end of 2023 or early 2024.
