**Call for PhD scholarship in the project "Turning land into capital" (2023-2027)**:
In the Volkswagen Foundation-funded research project "Turning Land into Capital.

The project is aligned along three thematic lines of research: 1) Political Constellations; 2) Cultures of Wealth; and 3) Ecological Transformations of Landscapes.
The position is based at the University of Bern. For more information on the project, please see the following link: Turning Land into Capital
