Research interests

My research interests are primarily centred around international labour migration. I am a qualitative researcher and tend to use a wide range of techniques and methods to explore the migration process. I have been engaged in studying the following issues: migration to destinations unaccustomed to ethnic diversity and representation of labour migrants on local, national and trasnational levels. My work is also focused on examining the migratory system which emerged between Central Eastern Europe and the UK in the aftermath of EU enlargement in 2004. Together with colleagues from the University of Western Australia and Renmin University of China we are examining the impact of COVID-19 crisis on the regulation of labour migration. Currently, I am also co-investigator on ESRC funded project Northern Exposure, for more see this link:
