Biography

Vanessa Ogle is a historian specializing in global European history from the 18th century to the present, with a focus on the history of capitalism and economic history. Her research encompasses a wide range of topics including modern European history, political economy, and global international history, particularly examining the interactions between Western Europe (notably Britain, Germany, Switzerland, and France) and the wider world. Prior to her appointment at Yale University, she was a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania and UC Berkeley. Ogle is currently completing a book titled 'Offshore: Global History Havens,' which explores the history of offshore capitalism from the late 19th century to the present. This work analyzes the economic, legal, and political regimes of smaller, enclave-like territories that have flourished on the peripheries of increasingly dominant nation-states. In addition to her research, she has published extensively, with her notable works including 'Global Transformation Time: 1870-1950,' which was honored with the George Louis Beer Prize from the American Historical Association. Ogle has received numerous fellowships and held visiting professorships across various esteemed institutions, including King's College London and the University of Sydney. Her contributions to the field have significantly advanced the understanding of socio-economic history and its implications on modern capitalism.
