Maria N. Ivanova is a Lecturer in Economics in the Department of Politics and International Relations at Goldsmiths, University of London. She joined in September 2013 after teaching positions at New York University (2005-2011) and the University of Kassel, Germany (2011-2013). She holds degrees in Politics and Economics from Sofia University and the University of Bonn.
Her teaching portfolio includes undergraduate and postgraduate courses such as Topics in International Economics, Boom and Bust: Economic Crises in Theory and History, Global Capitalism: Theory and History, and The United States in the World Economy. Previously, she taught Introduction to Economics, International Trade, and International Political Economy.
Dr. Ivanova's research explores critical dimensions of contemporary capitalism through these interconnected themes:
- Monetary theory & financial systems: Marxian analysis of money, financial instability, and central banking policies
- Crisis dynamics: Comparative study of economic collapses including the Great Recession and Great Depression
- US political economy: Housing markets, consumerism, inequality, and dollar hegemony
- Global economic structures: International trade imbalances, transnational production, and currency systems
Her publications demonstrate consistent focus on crisis theory and monetary policy, with recent work examining unconventional monetary instruments, inequality-financialization linkages, and comparative crisis analysis. The research integrates historical context with contemporary financial transformations.
Dr. Ivanova supervises graduate research in:
- International monetary economics (global imbalances, reserve currencies)
- US political economy (housing, labor markets, Federal Reserve policy)
- Theories of money (Marxian, Keynesian, and Post-Keynesian frameworks)
