Seun Fabiyi

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Radford University. My teaching philosophy centers around building curiosity, critical thinking, and real-world connections to economic concepts. I aim to equip students with the tools they need to understand global economic forces and their impact on businesses, societies, and individuals.

My research spans international economics, finance, and macroeconomics, with a focus on how capital account liberalization and globalization influence trade, growth, and firm dynamics. I am enthusiastic about producing research that informs both policy and practice, especially in emerging and developing economies.

What I love most about Radford and DCOBE is the keen sense of community and the opportunity to engage in impactful teaching and research alongside colleagues who are equally enthusiastic about student success and scholarship. Participating in the Davis Activities on Research and Teaching Seminars (DARTS) and serving on college committees has enriched my experience here.

Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring nature with my family, listening to inspiring podcasts, and mentoring students from underrepresented backgrounds. My superpower is perseverance; I thrive in helping others navigate complex problems with clarity and confidence. One of the best pieces of advice I have received is: “Focus on purpose, not just performance.” It continues to guide both my personal and professional journey.
