Thomas Lalevée

(He/him)

I am an early career historian specialising in modern political thought and based in Melbourne.

I studied at the University of Cambridge and the EHESS in Paris, before pursuing a doctorate at the Australian National University. My PhD was awarded the John Moloney prize for best thesis in History in 2022.

In 2024-25, I will be taking up a Gustave Gimon fellowship at Stanford University.
