Profile
 

PhD, Graduate Institute of International Studies and University of Geneva

Davide Rodogno researches the history of humanitarianism, human rights and racism, international organizations, philanthropic foundations, and international public health since the nineteenth century. He teaches the history and politics of diplomacy, international advocacy and public affairs, racism(s) in comparative perspective, and the history of humanitarian aid and development projects. Rodogno was a Research Fellow at the London School of Economics (2002-2004), Foreign Associate Researcher at the Institut d’Histoire du Temps Présent in Paris (2004-2005), RCUK Academic Fellow at the School of History, University of St Andrews (2005-2010), and SNSF – Research Professor (2008-2011). Associate professor (2011-2014) and full professor since 2014 at the Graduate Institute, he served as head of the International History and Politics Department (2014-2017). His doctoral thesis was published in Italian in 2003 and in English as Fascism’s European Empire (Cambridge University Press, 2006). Rodogno was a grantee of the Rockefeller Archives Centre in 2011; he was a grantee of the SNSF ‘Sinergia’ programme on a project entitled Patterns of Transnational Regulations. In 2011, Rodogno published Against Massacre: Humanitarian Interventions in the Ottoman Empire (1815-1914), the Birth of a Concept and International Practice (Princeton University Press). During the summer of 2012, the Kofi Annan Foundation mandated Rodogno to write a confidential report documenting the experience of the United Nations and League of Arab States Joint Special Envoy for Syria. In the mid-2010s, Rodogno co-edited and authored a volume on the history of Humanitarian Photography, a volume on Transnational Networks of Experts in the Long Nineteenth century, and another on the League of Nations’ social work. In 2021, he published Night on Earth – A History of International Humanitarianism in the Near East 1918-1930. From 2017 to 2021, Rodogno was a grantee of an FNS project on Minority Protection in Belgium, Italy and Spain; and in 2018, of another FNS grant on the Rockefeller Foundation fellows as heralds of globalization (1910s-1970s). In 2008, Rodogno co-founded the History of International Organizations Network Internet. Over the years, he started a collaboration with the Museum of the Red Cross and co-founded a podcast start-up that collaborates with the Festival et Forum International des Droits Humains (FIFDH). From 2020 to 2028, Rodogno serves as Head of the Interdisciplinary Programs of the Graduate Institute. From 2024, he co-directs the Centre for Digital Humanities and Multilateralism. Since 2026, Davide Rodogno is co-directeur of the Geneva Graduate Institute.
