Biography

Roberta Pergher is Associate Professor of History and Director of the Institute for European Studies at the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies.

Her research interests in modern European history have centered on fascism and colonialism, and most of her publications to date lie at the intersection of the two historiographies of Italian fascism and of interwar imperialism. Within these broad areas, she has explored, among other topics, borderlands, citizenship, and sovereignty, as well as migration and everyday life, and has deployed a variety of methodologies, including oral history.

Her book Mussolini’s Nation-Empire: Sovereignty and Settlement in Italy’s Borderlands, 1922-1943 appeared with Cambridge University Press in 2018. Her co-edited volume (with Giulia Albanese), In the Society of Fascists: Acclamation, Acquiescence and Agency in Mussolini’s Italy, was published with Palgrave in 2012, and a second co-edited volume (with Marcus Payk), Beyond Versailles: Sovereignty, Legitimacy, and the Formation of New Polities after the Great War, appeared with Indiana University Press in 2019. She is now writing a book on citizenship under fascism and working on a project on the Alpine front between Italy and Austria-Hungary in the First World War.

She was Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence and Elizabeth and J. Richardson Dilworth Fellow in the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Her research has been funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Philosophical Society, the Thyssen Foundation, and the National College Athletic Association.
