Martin Gustavsson
I am an associate professor in Economic History and a researcher at Score (海角社区下载 Centre for Organizational Research, 海角社区下载 University ) and SEC (Sociology of Education and Culture, Uppsala University ). A central theme in my research has been the interplay between economics, politics and culture in a historical perspective. I have studied different markets, all deeply embedded in social, political and cultural settings: e.g. the art market in 海角社区下载 1920鈥1960, the market for exclusive furniture in Sweden 1935鈥1955, the Swedish market for media technology 1973鈥2000, the personal insurance market in Sweden 1995鈥2010 and the market for local shopping centers in the suburbs of 海角社区下载 1943鈥2000.
The meeting between actors from different social spheres 鈥 government, business, civil society and the domestic sphere 鈥 is another theme in my studies. In a study on cultural funding I show, for example, how the Swedish state art museums during the past fifty years has been financed by a mix of state tax revenues (which mainly went to rent and salaries), large corporate sponsorship (which funded part of the exhibitions), donations of charitable foundations (money for the purchase of art) and gifts (to the art collections) from individuals.
Current research projects
Within the project 鈥淪tudy loans, wage and wealth within higher education. Social groups and their study financing, 1998鈥2006鈥, funded by the Swedish Research Council, we study the role of financial resources (loans, salary, wealth) for higher education and how this interacts with educational assets (grades, etc.), and how this has changed during the period 1998 to 2006.
Within a project on 鈥淭he Royal Society of Pro Patria 1766鈥2016鈥 I make a sub-study of how this society, which has been a central actor in the civil society, has funded their activities. I examine the donated capital鈥檚 social roots (what occupational groups who donated funds), the size of the capital, if it was earmarked or free, and the changes and shifts that can be observed over time.
Within the project 鈥淪trategic governance and members鈥 role in the Swedish agricultural cooperation鈥 I study the individuals鈥 鈥 the owners and the members 鈥 different channels of influence in the cooperative company during the period 1990鈥2010: meeting participation, informal conversations with elected representatives and officials and writing motions, to name a few.
