Romain Bonnet is a certified Lecturer (Maître de Conférences) in Global History at SciencesPo Paris. He holds a Ph.D. in History and Civilization from the European University Institute of Florence (EUI, since 2016). His scientific background is international and interdisciplinary, as evident from his three Master degrees, as well as from his strong command of several languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian, etc.). Doctor Bonnet’s doctoral dissertation is an original comparison of peasant revolts and political violence in post-First World War Italy (1918-1922) and in the Spanish Second Republic (1931-1936). It was awarded the Pier Paolo d’Attorre dissertation’s prize from the Gramsci Foundation (Italy, 2017). From 2017 to 2020, the author deepened his comparative and interdisciplinary research on violence and social movements, by working on the French metropole and colonies between 1870 and 1914, in a project of the European Research Council (ERC). Doctor Bonnet has published his research in journals such as Participazione e conflitto, Histoire@politique and Revista de historiografía.
