Biography

Daniela L. Caglioti

Daniela L. Caglioti is professor of modern and contemporary history at the University of Napoli Federico II. Previously, Caglioti was a visiting fellow at the department of history, University of Essex (1996-1997), the University College London (1997), and the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES) at Harvard University (2009). She also served as a senior fellow at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Study (2010-2011) and was a member of the School of Historical Studies in the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University (2001 and 2015). She was a visiting fellow of the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History Potsdam (2012), and The Remarque Institute at NYU (2016).

While at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Caglioti will start a new comparative research project aiming at investigating the Western European experience with collective rights, preferential policies, and affirmative action programs from the end of the First World War to today. In particular, the project focuses on the motivations of these programs, their rationale and mechanisms, the publicly offered justifications employed to defend them, and the legal and political debates these policies generated.

Caglioti received her Ph.D. in history from the European University Institute (EUI).
