Ariane Agunsoye

Ariane Agunsoye is a Senior Lecturer in the Economics Department at Goldsmiths, University of London, affiliated with the Institute of Management Studies. Her research explores the financialization of everyday life, focusing on how individuals navigate financial risk management in capitalist welfare systems, with specific emphasis on gendered disparities and the impact of EDI (Equality, Diversity, Inclusiveness) initiatives on economics education and knowledge production.

Agunsoye's work bridges political economy and personal finance, examining how structural constraints shape financial behaviors and subjectivities. She is an Associate Member of the Centre for Personal Financial Wellbeing at Aston University and actively contributes to networks like D-Econ and the Association for Heterodox Economics to promote inclusivity in her field.

Her 15 most recent publications span 2021–2024, covering topics including gendered financial rationality, household savings dynamics, decolonizing economics pedagogy, and critiques of institutional hierarchies in academic knowledge production. These outputs intersect with disciplines like gender studies, financial sociology, and heterodox economics.

Agunsoye has received no explicitly stated scientific awards but holds leadership roles in organizations advancing economic equity. She previously worked as a visiting lecturer in Germany and in the private sector before joining Goldsmiths in 2018.
