Research
My on-going doctoral research explores social and labour market experiences of Central Eastern European workers in Britain. I am interested in how EU enlargement in 2004 has structured the patterns of transnational labour mobility. I am a qualitative researcher employing a wide range of techniques and methods to explore the migration process. Primarily, I am interested in individual and household experiences of labour mobility. In my empirical work, I also focus on the relation between post-socialist transformation in Central Eastern Europe and labour migration, as well as the role of civil society institutions in providing support to labour migrants. Finally, I have been involved in a separate research project looking at the representation of posted Central Eastern European workers in the old EU member states, particularly Germany.
