Biography: 

Aurélie Andry is now an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow – Experienced Researcher at the Institute for Social Movements of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. She holds a PhD in history from the European University Institute in Florence. Before coming to Bochum, she has been a Research and Teaching Associate at the University of Paris-Sorbonne, the University of Glasgow, and the University of Évry Paris-Saclay/laboratoire IDHES, where she was part of the ANR-DFG project ‘Workplace democracy, a European Ideal? Discourses and practices about the democratization of work in Europe since 1945’. She is the author of Social Europe, The Road Not Taken. The Left and European integration in the Long 1970s (Oxford University Press, 2022).

As a Humboldt Research Fellow at the Ruhr-University in Bochum, her research project will contribute to a new transnational history of workplace democracy by investigating the circulations of the French model of self-management in Europe. This project will be based on new research in multi-situated historical archives, such as those of the main French and Italian trade union confederations (CFDT, CGT, CGIL, CISL), those of the socialist parties in both countries (PSU, PS, PSI), those of self-management ‘thinkers’ who were particularly involved in the Franco-Italian networks (Lelio Basso, Bruno Trentin, Paul Vignaux, etc.), and on a corpus of printed sources consisting mainly of the trade union and party press (e.g. Rassegna sindacale and Avanti! for Italy, or Morning Star and Tribune for Great Britain).

Research fields: 

History of Modern and Contemporary Europe
Transnational and global history
Circulation of knowledge, political and economic ideas
Socialism and trade unionism in Europe
History of European integration, European social policies, economic and monetary union
Economic democracy, self-management, neo-liberalism and capitalism
