Federica Carugati

I joined King’s in 2020 as a lecturer in history and political economy. Before that, I worked as a program director at the Centre for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University (2018-20) and as the associate director of the Ostrom Workshop at Indiana University, Bloomington (2015-18). I hold a BA and MA in Philosophy from the University of Bologna, and a joint PhD/MA in Classics and Political Science from Stanford University.

I am the author of A Moral Political Economy: Present, Past and Future (Cambridge University Press 2021) and of Creating a Constitution: Law, Democracy and Growth in Ancient Athens (Princeton University Press 2019). My work has appeared in leading political science journals, including the Annual Review of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, and Perspectives on Politics, as well as popular outlets such as WIRED, The Economist and La Repubblica.
