Thomas Gidney

Thomas completed his Ph.D. in International History at the Graduate Institute. His thesis examines how British colonies were admitted as member states to the League of Nations and the politics behind why only Britain decided to ‘represent’ its colonies internationally. His research interests are primarily in colonial and Indian history, the history of international organizations, and foreign policy.
