From 2020-2024, she is seconded as Professor of International History and Capitalism at the European University Institute in Florence. In 2013, she was awarded a five-year Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship for ‘Inventing the International’, working to reconnect historical and economic research and establish the foundations for the new history of capitalism in Australia, and to elaborate its international historical dimensions. In 2020, she is the recipient of a European Research Council Advanced Grant, overseeing a five-year research program on ‘Twentieth Century International Economic Thinking and the complex history of globalization.’

Professor Sluga’s most recent books include Internationalism in the Age of Nationalism (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2013) and with Patricia Clavin, Internationalisms, a Twentieth Century History (Cambridge University Press, 2017). Inventing an International Order, a study of how an international political culture was established in the wake of the Napoleonic wars, will be published by Princeton University Press in 2021. She is currently completing a number of other studies: a history the early years of the UN; an edited volume ‘Sites of International Memory’ (with Madeleine Herren and Kate Darian Smith); and a study of ‘Climate and Capital’, looking at the role of business in the history of global environmental governance. She is also collaborating with Basel and Nankai Universities on a new project on Tianjin: 'From the Imperial to the International. Professor Sluga collaborates with Heidi Tworek, Sunil Amrith and Emma Rothschild on the UN History Project website. At the University of Sydney, she is involved in a number of multi-disciplinary initiatives, particularly working with Shanghai Jiaotong, Geneva, and Utrecht universities, as part of a major initiative on the futures of the international order and 'International Thinking' with Prof. Chris Reus-Smit.
