University of Bristol
Associate Professor in International Migration and Business
Bristol

I am an interdisciplinary scholar in social sciences delivering empirically-based original work in international labour migration. My current research investigates the globalisation of electronics firms and studies how TNCs' production and management practices are engendering novel migration flows and regimes of labour control in Central and Eastern Europe. My earlier work focused on human trafficking for sexual expoitation and its link to the reorganisation of citizenship in enlarged Europe. I explore these topics in detail in my research monograph 'Agency, Migration and Citizenship in Sex Trafficking' (Palgrave, 2010) . I have also co-edited the volume 'Flexible workforces and low profit margins: electronics assembly between Europe and China' (ETUI, 2016) and several special issues such as 'Foreign Workers: On the Other Side of Sexual, Gendered, Political and Ethical Borders' with Organization (2019); 'Digital Labour' with Feminist Review (2019); 'Le migrazioni lavorative intra-UE: modelli, pratiche e traiettorie di mobilita dei cittadini europei' with Mondi Migranti (2016); 'Trafficking Representation' with Anti-Trafficking Review (2016); 'Revolutions' with Feminist Review (2014); and 'Conflicts of Mobility: Migration, Labour and Political Subjectivities' with Subjectivity (2009).

About the Migration Network Hub

What is the Migration Network Hub?

The Hub is a virtual “meeting space” where governments, stakeholders and experts can access and share migration-related information and services. It provides curated content, analysis and information on a variety of topics.

The Hub aims to support UN Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Migration by serving as a repository of existing evidence, practices and initiatives, and facilitating access to knowledge sharing via online discussions, an expert database and demand-driven, tailor-made solutions (launching in 2021).

What content is displayed in the Hub?

The Hub aims to help you find information on migration, ranging from policy briefs and journal articles, existing portals and platforms and what they offer, to infographics and videos. The different types of resources submitted by users undergo peer review by a panel of experts from within the UN and beyond, before being approved for inclusion in the Hub. To provide guidance to users based on findings of the needs assessment, the content is ordered so that more comprehensive and global resources are shown before more specific and regional ones. Know a great resource? Please submit using the links above and your suggestion will be reviewed. Please see the draft criteria for existing practices here.
