Dr Alexis Litvine is a Senior Researcher at the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure (CAMPOP), affiliated with the University of Cambridge's Faculty of History. He holds academic roles as University Lecturer and College Lecturer at Pembroke College and previously at Gonville & Caius College. His research focuses on cultural economic history, digital humanities, and the social construction of technology. Born in Paris with multinational heritage, Litvine earned degrees from the Ecole Normale Supérieure and Sciences-Po Paris before completing an MPhil/PhD at Cambridge under Professors Peter Mandler and Martin Daunton. He has held a Trinity College research fellowship and currently leads major interdisciplinary projects.
Key research interests include the cultural history of the economy, 19th-century social norms, spatial/temporal histories of industrialization, and digital methodologies like geospatial analysis and corpus linguistics. He co-leads the ANR-COMMUNES project (€490k) reconstructing French historical GIS data and the ReGrow ESRC grant application (£10M) analyzing regional economic dynamics. Litvine also develops gamified educational tools, such as the Industrial Revolution video game IREEVOLUTION.
Teaching focuses on Modern European and British economic/social history (1715-1890). He supervises students in French/European economic history, DH methods, and industrialization studies. Collaborations span institutions like INED Paris, Bourgogne University, and the University of Salford. Litvine co-founded THOTH (handwritten data transcription) and Osiris-Ai, advancing historical data digitization. His work bridges quantitative methods with cultural analysis, challenging traditional historiographies through innovative data infrastructure.
