After 10 years working in humanitarian and development field, on refugee protection, gender-based violence prevention and response in conflict and displacement settings and gender mainstreaming, I have started PhD research at the crossroad between the fields of forced migration studies, gender studies and Middle-Eastern Studies.

Migration Studies

I work as an assistant professor at Palacky University Olomouc, Czech Republic. I am interested in the interplay between migration, cities and development. My current research projects revolve around the themes of highly skilled migration, migration governance, and return migration.

As a night ethnographer and migration scholar, for the past decade Julius-Cezar Macarie (or MacQuarie) has reached out to migrant nightshift workers working around the clock in European cities, because he is concerned with their invisibility from public debates, political agendas, and scholarly fields.

RESEARCH INTERESTS
Nightwork, nighttime economy, decent work agenda, transnational migration, social justice policies, multi-sited and multi-modal nocturnal ethnography, producing films and podcasts applied to research and teaching on migration and labour dynamics.

In July 2022, I have completed a project on Inequalities in Siliconised Romanian Cities, as 'Stefan Odobleja' Post-doctoral fellow, New Europe College (NEC) 2021 Award, Bucharest, Romania, while I was also affiliated with the Inequalities Workgroup, Democracy Institute, Central European University, Hungary. Since September 2022, I have joined the Institute for Social Science for the 21st century, University College Cork, Ireland, as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow to research the production of marginalisation of women migrant nightworkers in Ireland. I will concentrate on women because they are further invisibilised in the masculinised environments of evening and nightwork and are more likely to be abused at work due to behaviours linked to patriarchy.
