Mary V. Wrenn serves as the Joan Robinson Research Fellow in Heterodox Economics at Girton College, University of Cambridge, within the Faculty of Economics. Her academic identity is firmly rooted in critical examinations of capitalist structures and alternative economic frameworks.
Her research centers on the ontology of capitalism and neoliberalism, with specific focus on agency, identity, and emotional dimensions within economic systems. She investigates varieties of heterodox economic thought and specializes in the economic history of the United States, frequently analyzing how neoliberal ideology permeates cultural institutions, individual behavior, and policy frameworks through immanent critique methodologies.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a cohesive scholarly trajectory examining neoliberalism's manifestations across diverse contexts—from multi-level marketing schemes and corporate mindfulness culture to religious movements like the US Prosperity Gospel. Her work consistently bridges political economy, economic sociology, and institutional economics, with recurring intersections in gender studies and critical theory, demonstrating how neoliberal narratives shape contemporary social relations and exploitation mechanisms.
While no formal awards or student supervision details appear in available records, her research actively contributes to anti-capitalist pedagogical frameworks and resistance strategies against neoliberal institutionalization, particularly through her examination of think tanks, right-wing populism, and crisis exploitation in higher education.
