Paula Vedoveli is an Assistant Professor of International History at the School of International Relations at the Fundação Getulio Vargas in São Paulo, Brazil.
Paula earned a B.A. in History (Summa cum Laude) from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, an M.A. in International Relations from the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, and a PhD. in History from Princeton University (2019). Her book manuscript, tentatively titled Brokering Capital: Latin American Public Credit and the Making of Global Finance, 1852-1914, examines how the trajectories of Argentina and Brazil as sovereign debtors helped shape the transatlantic regimes of sovereign creditworthiness that contributed to making finance global in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Her next book project, Making Global Numbers: The Quantification of Economic Life in the Global South, 1890-1990, will explore the production of economic knowledge designed to measure national economies in the long twentieth century.
Paula is a founding member and co-convener of the Financial History Network webinar series since 2020. Over the last years, Paula has conducted multi-archival research in the United Kingdom, the United States, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and France. She is interested in the global history of capitalism, the history of quantification, the history of information, and the history of the future.
