Lucas Pinheiro

Lucas G. Pinheiro’s research is in the history of political thought, contemporary political theory, and critiques of political economy. His work focuses on overlapping transformations in ideas and practices about race, labor, aesthetics, and technology within the modern histories of capitalism, empire, and political thought in the Atlantic world. At the IAS, he is finishing a book on the colonial origins and digital afterlives of the factory system and the ways in which the factory’s long-running, global development tells a new story about the intertwined histories of political thought and capitalist society.
