Sandra Ricker

Sandra Ricker is completing her doctoral dissertation on German internationalism in the interwar period, which explores the relationship between the Weimar Republic and the League of Nations through the prism of a wider German turn to international law amid the collapse of the German Empire. With her research anchored in the history of Germany and modern Europe more broadly, she is particularly interested in questions of international order, empire/imperialism and international law from the nineteenth to the twentieth centuries. Her current research project is a history of the concept of aggression in international politics and international law.

Ricker’s doctoral research at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence was funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). She completed a Master of Research in History at the European University Institute and a Master of Arts in Transnational History at University College London.
