Johanna Gautier-Morin, Ph.D.

I am a historian of capitalism, economic knowledge, crises, and political ecology. Currently based in Vienna, I collaborate with the Open Society Hub for the Politics of the Anthropocene (OHPA) at the Central European University, where I explore the history of carbon markets, decarbonization and the petrostate. My broader research examines the critical history of international economic indicators in collaboration with the Center for the Sociology of Organizations (CSO) at Sciences Po Paris. 

Previously, I was a TEFE Fellow at the Remarque Institute, New York University, and a Fellow at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, where I contributed to the ERC-funded ECOINT project on twentieth-century international economic thinking and globalization. My teaching experience spans economic and financial history (Graduate Institute, EUI), geopolitics of the green transition (CEU), and global history (Princeton University). I earned my PhD in International History from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva and hold an MPhil in History from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, an MPhil in Music from the Sorbonne (Paris IV), and a Grande École diploma from the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.

My research appears or is forthcoming in the Journal of Global History, Contemporary European History, Global Networks, Radical History Review, Feminist Economics, Revue d'histoire des sciences humaines, Relations Internationales, The Tocqueville Review, and the European Review of Books, among others. It has been supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation, the Albert Gallatin Fellowship, the European Research Council, the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche, and the Open Society Foundations. I am currently working on a book manuscript, Measuring the Invisible Economy, under contract with Cambridge University Press for the Elements series and co-editing Decarbonization and the Petrostate with Alexander Etkind at Amsterdam University Press/CEU Press.
