Carolina Granado-Torres is a PhD student at the Institute of History of Science in Barcelona (iHC, UAB), where she started working on her thesis in 2021 under the supervision of professor Agustí Nieto-Galan. Before starting her PhD, Carolina attained a master’s degree in history and philosophy of science at the University of Paris and a bachelor’s degree in physics and mathematics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB).
In her current research, Carolina studies how climate change was established as a scientific, political, and diplomatic issue throughout the 1980s. One fundamental question of her thesis is how experts, through international assessment, shaped scientific knowledge of climate change to make it more accessible to politicians, framing the type of questions and solutions that were later discussed in international political negotiations.
Carolina’s research interests include the history of climatology, the history of ecological thinking, environmental history, global environmental governance, and the relations between science, politics, and gender.
