Nina Banks is an American economist who is an associate professor of economics at Bucknell University[1] and former president of the National Economic Association.[2] Elle a auparavant siégé au conseil d’administration de la International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) et fait partie des comités de rédaction des revues Feminist Economics et The Review of Black Political Economy.[3] She is known for her research on the contributions of early women economists, particularly Sadie Alexander.[4][5][6][7] She is one of the founders of the Freedom and Justice conference of NEA and ASHE.[8] She has also published work explaining the economic value of Black women's community activism.[9][10]
At an early age, Nina Banks noticed the economic inequalities that were prominent in her home town in Pennsylvania. She works through the means of economics rather than humanities to highlight the foundations of racial inequalities that she experienced.[11]
