As a professor of Global and Colonial History (19th and 20th centuries) at EUI, Professor Unger in part specialises in global, international, and colonial history; the history of development; and rural, agricultural and environmental history. She is currently working on three research projects, including a project which seeks to investigate the emergence of scientific cooperation mechanisms on the European level and the ways in which they have, or have not, produced new forms of knowledge and knowledge production that can be considered an expression of European integration and/or Europeanisation processes. This is entitled "Science in Europe – European Science?".
Professor Unger has published a number of works including International Development: A Postwar History (London: Bloomsbury, 2018). This work offers offers the first concise historical overview of international development policies and practices in the 20th century, describing the emergence of the development field at the intersection of late colonialism, the Second World War, the onset of decolonization, and the Cold War.
