Academic Environment The Department of Business Humanities and Law is dedicated to an integrated approach to the contemporary challenges facing business and society drawing on the humanities, interdisciplinary social sciences, and law. It emphasizes problem-oriented scholarship to understand those challenges and to build the lifelong capabilities necessary to address them. Faculty within the Department of Business Humanities and Law have diverse academic backgrounds and research foci including but not limited to leadership, entrepreneurship, ethics, strategy, law, politics, economics, sociology, philosophy, history, anthropology, diversity, equity and inclusion, culture and leisure management. What unites faculty is an overriding concern for the organization of the human within its multiple environments and, by implication, an interest in the interdisciplinary “conversation” between humanities and social sciences.
Within the Department of Business Humanities and Law, the position will be located in the Governance, Culture and Learning Unit, an interdisciplinary academic environment connecting management issues relative to governance, culture and learning.
Given the engagement and central role of the Department of Business Humanities and Law in teaching philosophy of science across the study programmes of Copenhagen Business School, the candidate should demonstrate a capacity to collaborate across departments, disciplines and academic environments.
