Robert Chernomas

Robert Chernomas serves as a Professor in the Department of Economics within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Manitoba, maintaining active research and teaching roles. He has held visiting professorships at Johns Hopkins University and Bucknell University, demonstrating broad academic engagement across North American institutions.

His educational foundation includes a PhD in Economics from The New School for Social Research, completed in 1979, which underpins his critical approach to economic theory.

Dr. Chernomas' research centers on heterodox macroeconomics and health economics, with sustained critique of neoliberal policies and their societal consequences. His work examines how economic structures influence health outcomes, inequality, and social justice, particularly in the United States context. He integrates historical analysis with contemporary political economy to challenge mainstream economic paradigms.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals consistent thematic focus on neoliberalism's impact across multiple domains: health systems, racial and gender disparities, environmental sustainability, and democratic institutions. His scholarship demonstrates interdisciplinary reach, connecting economic theory with public health, sociology, and political science to address systemic societal challenges.

Currently accepting graduate students for Master's and PhD supervision, Dr. Chernomas teaches specialized courses including ECON 3810 (Heterodox Macroeconomics) and ECON 3692 (Economic Determinants of Health), directly translating his research expertise into pedagogical practice.
