Flavia Dantas is an Associate Professor at SUNY Cortland, where she teaches courses in alternative economic theory, political economy and social thought, macroeconomics, money, and mathematical economics. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2013. Her current work focuses on economic stagnation, employment policy, and financial globalization. Recently she has been working with Randall Wray to examine labor market trends in the USA; extensions of this work will critically assess what many have called a new era of “secular stagnation”.
