Teresa Ghilarducci

She is the author of numerous books published by Princeton University Press, MIT University Press, and Columbia University Press.

Her research areas concern automatic stabilizers, financialization, and labor market dynamics.

From 2007 to 2009, she served as Wurf fellow with Harvard Law School’s Labor and Worklife Program.
