We are delighted to welcome Dr Marianna Astore to the GloCoBank team. Marianna will be conducting research on European networks, in particular analysing the link between cross-border banking correspondents and migrant remittances with a focus on European migration to North and South America during the first globalization.
Marianna has been an associated researcher of the project for some time and presented a co-authored paper with Paolo Di Martino on branching vs correspondents in cross-border banking expansion in Italy (1870s-1913) at our first project conference in March 2023. We look forward to drawing from her expertise and working with her over the coming year.
