Adriana Luna-Fabritius is a docent in intellectual history at the University of Helsinki, where she researches and teaches imperial legal culture, political and economic languages of the Spanish Monarchy. Her work focuses on reconstructing legal and economic practices in territories linked to the monarchy through transimperial networks of communication, with particular attention to the role of Naples in the transition to modernity. She has published extensively on cultures of innovation and improvement, natural law, political economy, cameralism, and liberalism. She is currently developing her project Narratives of Crisis and is the Principal Investigator of Labour Evolution, which examines the transformation of forced labour conditions into claims for individual rights in the Spanish, Portuguese, and British empires. She actively participates in international networks on European political, economic and legal history, as well as on colonial contexts.
