By force of pandemic circumstances, the research has been hampered over the course of the fellowship. Crucial archives and items of the texts corpus that were important for the completion of the project have been closed for part of the period, or travel restrictions made it impossible for me to get to them. The research work focused on the construction of the corpus of economists born between 1870s and early 1930s, by using limited archives in the UK, Italy, and France of parties, universities, and economists; printed primary sources; and literature (in particular, autobiographies, biographies, biographical dictionaries, and obituaries). I published one article of popularization on an independent media of news and views, one article on methodological and historiographical issues with Cambridge University Press, and one book chapter in Italian. An article which analyses the relationship between academic sphere and partisan sphere, and focuses on French Marxist economists, is under review by a French historical journal. I co-organized with my supervisor an international workshop on the social and intellectual history of wages, with the aim of a publication. The book proposal, which includes a co-written introduction, my chapter, and other 14 contributions made by leading scholars in this field, has been proposed to an anglophone international publisher. I was member of the scientific committee of an international annual conference of history economic thought. At the beginning of the fellowship, I created an account twitter followed by historians, economists and general public which has been very useful to disseminate the results of the research. In the meantime, I taught a course and examined MPhil thesis at the faculty of history of the University of Cambridge on topics related to the research project. I prepared a MPhil course on the history of economic thought to be taught next year at the University of Cambridge, which will integrate knowledge, approaches, and reflexions engendered by the research project.
