VALERIA GIACOMIN

I am Assistant Professor at the Department of Social and Political Sciences and member of the Dondena Centre for Research on Social Dynamics and Public Policy at Bocconi University.

Previously I held post-doctoral fellowships at Harvard Business School (Newcomen) and at the Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at Marshall Business School (University of Southern Carolina, Los Angeles). I received my PhD from Copenhagen Business School.

I am a global and business historian. My core research focuses on global history of commodity markets and plantation economy in Southeast Asia; cities and clusters in historical perspective; and business history of emerging markets since the 19th century. 

Recently, I started new projects on historical entrepreneurship and business ethics in different historical and geographical contexts.
