Dr. Scaglia's main fields of interest include the history of internationalism and the history of emotions.
She has recently published a monograph: The Emotions of Internationalism: Feeling International Cooperation in the Alps in the Interwar Period (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2020). Her previous publications dealt with the interplay of art and performative politics, nation branding and international cooperation, and the moral economy of internationalism.
She is now working on a new project: a transnational history of the emotions of archives and historical research, which focuses on how technology - and the practice of reproducing documents - changed the archival experience in the 19th and 20th centuries.
