Ellen Garnett Kladky

Cultural Anthropologist

I am a cultural anthropologist who studies personal financial cultures and other overlooked sites of engagement with contemporary capitalism. My research investigates the way that large-scale economic changes, like the explosion of consumer debt, come to reshape social class, racial formations, and family life.

I am currently a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University. I received my PhD from the University of California, Irvine in 2023. My research has been funded by the Wenner Gren Foundation, the Society for Economic Anthropology, and the UCI Initiative to End Family Violence.
