Thomas Dumont

Thomas Dumont is a Researcher in the Department of History at the European University Institute (EUI), Florence, where he is pursuing his doctoral studies as part of the 2021 cohort. His academic work is situated within the broader framework of modern European and transnational history, with a focus on intellectual and artistic engagement among political dissidents.

His research interests center on the experiences of Greek and Turkish dissidents in exile across Europe from 1945 to 1999. These interests span transnational history, intellectual history, exile and displacement, Cold War political cultures, and artistic resistance. His work explores how exile shaped political commitment and cultural production, particularly in the context of authoritarian regimes and democratic transitions in Southern Europe.

While no publications are currently listed, his research contributes to ongoing scholarly conversations on dissidence, migration, and the role of intellectuals in shaping transnational solidarity networks during the Cold War era.

Thomas Dumont is supervised by Professor Giancarlo Casale, with Corinna Unger serving as second reader. No information is available regarding grants or advising roles, as he is currently a PhD candidate.

He is affiliated with the Department of History at EUI, a leading center for advanced research in the humanities and social sciences, where he contributes to academic life through seminars, workshops, and collaborative research initiatives.
