Vanessa Ogle, the Julie and Martin Franklin Assistant Professor of History at Penn, was selected in March for a 2016-2017 Fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies. These Fellowships allow scholars to spend six to 12 months researching and writing full-time.

Dr. Ogle specializes in modern Europe, historical globalization, political economy and imperialism and colonialism in Europe and the Middle East. Her selection was based in part on her book, Archipelago Capitalism: Tax Havens, Offshore Money and the Shadow Economy, 1920s-1980s, which explores the British, German, French, American and Swiss governments’ involvements with tax havens, economic zones, flags of convenience and offshore currency markets.
