- My research is now geared towards 19th-early 20th-century histories of humanitarianism and liberal internationalisms as part of the junior fellowship of the Institut universitaire de France she was recently awarded. In particular, I examine non-state actor contributions crafting international ideas and practices of refuge in the late 1890s-early 1900s as a solid contribution to the emergence of a first international refugee regime in the immediate aftermath of WW1. https://www.iufrance.fr/les-membres-de-liuf/membre/2283-stephanie-prevost.html
