Jonathan Hearn is a political and historical sociologist with a focus on the conceptualization and theorization of power within society and its associated long-term patterns of historical social change. His work connects a longstanding interest in the nature of liberal society with the examination of social power, evolution, nationalism, and the historical institutionalization of political, economic, and cultural competition within modern liberal contexts. Hearn has engaged in ethnographically based empirical research on the dynamics of national identities as they relate to the Scottish financial sector and the devolution politics in Scotland. His recent publication, "Domestication of Competition" (Cambridge University Press, 2023), explores the role of competition in the organization and legitimation of power in society, while he is currently developing a new book dealing with nationalism and authority. Hearn’s academic contributions extend to various journals and publications, illustrating his significant impact in the fields of sociology and political theory.
