Peter Gaber is a graduate student in the dual MA program in International and World History at Columbia University and the London School of Economics. His research focuses on twentieth-century intellectual history, with particular attention to liberalism, technocracy, and political economy. His current project examines the Committee to Frame a World Constitution (1945-1951) as an intervention in postwar liberal internationalism, tracing how European émigré intellectuals shaped constitutionalist visions of world government and redefined the role of democracy in international affairs.
Before beginning his master's, Peter worked at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, contributing to research on international security and the history of U.S. foreign policy. His broader interests include the history of anti-political thought, critical theory, and the relationship between law, political economy, and international relations. He earned his BA from Columbia University in 2021, where his senior thesis on the aesthetic and political theory of the Situationist International was awarded the Undergraduate Education Committee's prize.
