SCRIPTS Principal Investigator Stefan Gosepath and Philipp Lepenies, together with SCRIPTS Doctoral Researcher Martyna Linartas and Christian Neuhäuser from the Technische Universität Dortmund, secured funding from the VW Stiftung for their project “The Deserving Rich - A Multi-Disciplinary Analysis of the (Re-)Production of (German) Wealth”. Over four years, they will investigate how different narratives of the “deserving rich” explain the (re-)production of wealth in Germany. We congratulate the recipients for securing the funding for this exciting, interdisciplinary research project.
