Tamar Nir

Tamar Nir serves as a Teaching Fellow in International Political Economy at the Department of Politics and International Studies (PAIS), University of Warwick. She holds a PhD in Cultural Economy from King’s College London and an MSc in Contemporary Social Thought (Sociology) from the London School of Economics, with prior experience as a teaching assistant at King’s and research assistant for the Policy Institute investigating UK university freedom of expression.

Her research critically examines cultural and political economy through the lens of government-backed loans and market-making practices in financialized economies. She challenges conventional understandings of debt, state-market relations, and austerity governance using economic sociology frameworks, while actively exploring alternative lending instruments as potential pathways beyond capitalist structures.

Dr. Nir's 2023 Journal of Cultural Economy publication analyzes how debt obligations constitute market relations and entangle debtors in market organization, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach bridging cultural economy, economic sociology, and critical finance studies to retheorize debt-market-state dynamics.
