Erlend Colleuille

Erlend Colleuille is a current Researcher at the European University Institute in the Department of History. His research focuses on global and transnational historical perspectives, particularly examining informal imperialism and colonial dynamics through case studies of Norwegian whaling stations, Pacific settlers, and indentured labor migration during 1880-1930.

Key research themes include:

• Colonialism and imperialism
• 19th-20th century European expansion
• Transnational labor movements
• Europe's global interactions

Currently second-reading under supervision of Lucy Riall and Pieter M. Judson, his work intersects with broader historiographical debates on empires and global history.
