Henning Hillmann is Assistant Professor of Sociology. His main research interests are in social network analysis, historical and economic sociology. Within these areas, he is particularly interested in the political consequences of economic action in historical settings. He first explored this link in two papers on the economic foundations of political identities and elite mobilization in Revolutionary America and early modern England before the Civil War. His current work focuses on a comparative study of the political economy of privateering and piracy in Britain and France (c.1688-1815). A second project explores how reputation effects shaped the economic performance of serial entrepreneurs in Imperial Russsia (c.1851-1914). |
