About my research

Trained as a historian (BA University of Geneva; MSc University of Edinburgh; PhD Graduate Institute), my research centers around the global political and social transformations brought about by the early dynamics of commercial and financial globalization. Combining micro-history and global history of capitalism, I am particularly interested in the ways in which marginal groups and their European merchant-banker-interlocutors sought to position themselves within global shifting environments created by the imperial and economic revolutions of the late 18th- and early 19th-centuries.
