Grace Ballor

I am a historian interested in the international political economy of modern Europe, the economic consequences of climate change, and the intersections of global capitalism and global governance. I am currently Assistant Professor of International Economic History at Bocconi University. Before moving to Milan, I held research fellowships at Harvard Business School, the European University Institute, and the Graduate Institute Geneva. I earned my PhD at UCLA.

 

At Bocconi, I co-direct the research stream on Economic & Monetary Integration at the Bocconi Lab for European Studies, serve as the institutional representative of the CIVICA research project “Europe Revisited,” and am a member of the Dondena Research Centre for Social Dynamics and Public Policy. Elsewhere, I am also Associate Fellow at the Centre for Business, Human Rights, and the Environment at Nova Law School in Lisbon. 

 

In 2025, I am Senior Fellow in Economic and Environmental History at the Collegium Helveticum (Swiss Institute for Advanced Studies), and Visiting Professor of History and Environmental Research at Sciences Po and l’Université Paris Cité
