Sujet de recherche
While at the Center Marc Bloch, Patricia will continue her research into two related research projects. The first is research relating to the place of food in the history of ideas, and practices of global order. After 1918, European hunger-crises generated new forms of global governance relating to health, finance, trade, and so on. This early history set pathways that led to specific international institutions, which, in turn, played a fundamental role in determining the boundaries of global order delineating ‘public’ and ‘private’ domains, and the labels – as well as remedies – attached to particular crises. As part of this work, Patricia is also researching the history of artificial nitrates, in a connected comparison of British and German agri-business history from ca. 1900-2008.
