Catherine Brice is professor of contemporary history at Paris-Est Créteil University, member of the Comparative European History Research Center (CRHEC) and honorary member of the Institut Universitaire de France. She works on nineteenth-century Italy, particularly on the cultural history of politics: she studied the place of public monumentality in the Italian space, and more specifically the monument to Victor Emmanuel II of Rome. She then devoted work to the place of the monarchy in the construction of an Italian national identity (La monarchie et la construction de l’identité nationale italienne (1861-1900), Paris, EHESS 2010). As part of an funded project, she opened research on “ fraternity as a category of political commitment (1820-1920)” which led, among other things, to the publication with Sylvie Aprile (co-dir.), Exil et fraternité au XIXème siècle, Bievre editions, Bordeaux, 2013, and Catherine Brice (ed.), La fraternité en action : frères de sang, frères d’armes, frères ennemis en Italie (1824-1924), Collection de l’Ecole française de Rome, 2017. She has since worked on relations between mobility and innovation, more specifically on the relations between exile and political engineering from the 1820s to the 1860s, through the examples of “Italian” political exiles, as well as the conomic aspects of political exile. This project led to the publication with Delphine Diaz (co-director), Mobilities, know-how and innovation in the nineteenth century in Revue d’histoire du 19ème siècle, 2016-n°53 as well as  Catherine Brice (eds), Mobilités créatrices. Hommes, savoirs et pratiques en mouvement (xvie-xixe siècle) , dans Diasporas, n°29, 2017and Catherine Brice (dir.), Sequestration and Confiscation of the Property of Exiles in 19th Century Italy, MEFRIM, 2017-2.
