Biography
Dr Alasia Nuti joined the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of York in September 2015. She works in contemporary political theory and gender studies and she has a strong interest in postcolonial theory and critical race theory. In particular, Alasia is interested in historical injustice, responsibility, structural injustice, memory, immigration and pluralism. She has recently published her first book, entitled Injustice and the Reproduction of History (Cambridge University Press, 2019), which examines why the unjust past matters from a normative perspective. The book was awarded an Honorable Mention from the ECPR Prize in Political Theory in 2021. In 2022, Alasia was awarded the Early Career Prize from the Britain and Ireland Association for Political Thought for excellence in research and teaching.

Alasia holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge and was awarded the Elizabeth Wiskemann Dissertation Prize for the Study of Inequality and Social Justice from the Political Studies Association and the Lisa Smirl Prize for the best PhD from the Department of Politics and International Studies (University of Cambridge). She received an MSc in Gender Research (with Distinction) from the London School of Economics and Political Science, an MA (“Laurea specialistica”) in Philosophy (summa cum laude) and a BA (“Laurea triennale”) in Philosophy (summa cum laude) from the University of Genova.
