  • Condemned to Repeat It
My research interests include:
  • the history of international law and relations and how they interact with the nature of the state, and
  • the history of knowledge, information, epistemology, and mentalities.
My most recent project is:

"Manufacturing International Law: Pre-printed Treaties in the 'Scramble for Africa' ," Journal of the History of International Law, 23 (2021) 429-465.



My 2015 Dissertation "Between Law and Diplomacy: International Dispute Resolution in the Long 19th Century" addresses the development and implications of public international arbitration as a tool of the states' system from the end of the 18th century to World War I.
