Johanna Gautier Morin, Ph.D.

I am a historian of capitalism and economic knowledge, with a focus on financial markets and economic indicators as experienced and shaped by the individuals designing, transforming, and critiquing them. Currently based in New York as a TEFE Fellow at the Remarque Institute, NYU, I also collaborate with the Open Society Hub for the Politics of the Anthropocene (OHPA) at the Central European University, where I explore the history of European carbon markets. 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 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 in the Journal of Global History, Radical History Review, Feminist Economics, Contemporary European History, Global Networks, the Revue d'histoire des sciences humaines, Relations Internationales, and The Tocqueville Review, 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 Foundation. I am currently working on a book manuscript Measuring the Invisible Economy, under contract with Cambridge University Press for the Elements series.
