I am a social scientist with a strong track record in researching the labour market integration of migrant workers. I bring a perspective shaped by my work on Central and Eastern European regimes of migration governance - an area that remains considerably under-researched. While labour market research is often defined by national borders, I focus on bringing forward the impact and role of social formations that transcend national borders, such as various organisational networks, ethnic or occupational-based communities or transnational chains of subcontractors in specific sectors. In the context of digital transformation, precarious, uncertain and hyperflexible employment has particularly severe consequences on migrants’ working life: it threatens the legality of their stay and hinders processes of family reunification and complete integration into society at large. My research aims to contribute to the sustainable and fair labour market participation of migrant workers, which provides benefits both for migrant groups and society at large.
