Ariane’s research focuses on the impact of financialization on everyday life.

Prior to joining Goldsmiths in 2018, I was a visiting lecturer in Germany and worked several years in the private sector. My current research interests are centred on the intersection between political economy and personal finance, exploring how people across a variety of social and demographic backgrounds respond to the rising pressure to manage financial risk. In addition to my interest in everyday financialization, I research the impact of EDI initiatives on knowledge production and dissemination. In line with these interests, I am an Associate Member of the Centre for Personal Financial Wellbeing at Aston University, I am on the steering committee of D-Econ, a network of economists who aim to promote inclusiveness in economics, and on the management committee of the Association for Heterodox Economics.
