My academic thinking and writing focuses mainly on the ethics and politics of work in a global context. In particular, I am interested in the role of difference (primarily, race and gender) in the emergence and distribution of new forms of work and tech. My work is situated with race, decolonial and feminist theory. ]]> 2021-06-28 16:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1628634152 Mohammad Amir Anwar sgachayeva https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1628643847 Lecturer in African Studies and International Development; Research Associate University of Oxford and University of Johannesburg
Research Interests: Political economy of globalisation and development in the Global South, ICT4D, labour geography, and the future of work. I explore new forms of digital work (e.g. gig economy and digital outsourcing), how it is done, where it done, and how it is impacting labour around in different parts of the world.

I am currently working on projects within two broader research themes: 
1) How individuals and small groups innovate under challenging conditions and with what consequences?
2) How older workers experience and manage menopause at work? 

I would like to learn more about what type of research colleagues do across CAHSS. ]]> 2021-06-28 17:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1628707844 Ishbel McWha-Hermann https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1629810297 Lecturer in International HRM, Org Studies Group, Business School
I am a work psychologist working on social justice and diversity.
My research interests include the HR policies and practices of international NGOs, organisational justice, humanitarian work psychology, sustainable HRM, workplace diversity, intergroup relations and teamwork.

I am currently working on two main projects:
1) fair reward practices in international NGOs (https://www.project-fair.business-school.ed.ac.uk/)
2) living wages and decent work - understanding the psychological implications for employees, their families, and their organisations

I am unfortunately unable to attend the session but am interested to meet others looking at similar topics. Particularly those looking at nonprofits (esp international nonprofits) and interested in issues of power and structural inequality.]]> 2021-06-29 08:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1629810297 Andreas Hackl https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1629938702 I am a lecturer in social anthropology with a focus on the inter-disciplinary field of international development. 
My broader researchs and work in relation to "economy and work" are:
- the role of digital economies (online work, platform work, outsouring, digital skills) among migrants and refugees.
- the use of digital technology and ICTs in international development and humanitarianism.
- labour communting in the settler colonial context

Recent projects were:
- ESRC funded research on refugees in the digital economy
- Research for the International Labour Organization on refugees in the digital economy
- Consultancy with the International Labour Organization on the role of the digital platform economy for job creation among youth and refugees in Africa

Hopes for this new collectice on economy and work:
- Meet others working on similar themes
- Find support and partners for the potential future development of a research centre on the future of work (potentially collaborating with the ILO)
- build networks and new connections within CAHSS for future grant applications]]> 2021-06-29 10:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1629938702 Daniel Clegg https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1630226620 Social Policy, School of Social and Political Science

My research focuses on cross-national analysis of working-age social security systems, labour market policies and labour market regulation, especially in European countries. I’m interested in the relationship between changing patterns of employment and the public regulation of unemployment; more abstractly in the relationship between social protection and economic production in the context of de-industrialisation, automation etc. 

My interest to participate in this event is the possibility to forge links with colleagues who work on labour markets and labour market change in other academic disciplines (sociology, economics, HRM, labour law etc.) and/or beyond Europe.

My research looks at financial crises (including, but not limited to, bubbles and crashes) and the responses to them (including last resort lending and nationalisations/bailouts). I am also interested in the perceptions and debates concerning financier "misbehaviour", ranging from merely unpopular but entirely legal features of professional finance like the perceived outsized rewards accruing to financiers, to illegal activities like insider trading. My main period of focus is the 18th and 19th Centuries, but my interest has extended all the way to the present day since I was a financial professional myself some years back. I am especially interested in the interplay between economic theory (from Political Economy back in the day to disciplinary Economics today) and financial practice - how one informs the other, and vice versa. I am finally developing a research side line on the history of the Scotch Whisky industry in before World War 1. 

As you can see, much of what I do is interdisciplinary in nature, and I am always keen to discuss some of the issues arising in my research with experts from other fields who will be able to provide unique viewpoints that a historian cannot easily have.]]> 2021-06-29 16:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1630319490 Pete Evans https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1631794990 I'm based on the Centre for Research in Digital Education and am currently in the early stages of developing two broad research themes: (a) professional learning in distributed work contexts; and (b) the relationship of higher education and employability. I'm looking to learn more about related work from colleagues in the College.

My research evolves around credit risk of individuals and small businesses (SMEs) using advanced statistical and machine-learning techniques. I investigated profitability of individual accounts in consumer credit, explored the performance of UK SMEs through the credit crisis, inferred the effect of management capability on SME credit performance. 

Current research interests are as follows:

  • Alternative finance, fintech and improving access to credit
  • New types of information in credit risk assessment
  • Psychology of credit behaviour
  • Financial education and its effect on credit behaviour
  • Legislative environment of credit scoring models, discrimination in credit
  • National and international differences in risk profiles 
  • Behavioural finance
  • Profit scoring.

I'm the Professor of Labour Law and my research relates to all laws that govern the world of work and the relationship between employers and employees. In recent times, I have become particularly interested in a number of themes that are exercising the minds of labour/employment lawyers. First, there is the post-pandemic effects of the surge in working from home - what are the relevant legal issues here and broader implications for wage levels, as well as the price of goods and services of the employer? Secondly, the increasing pace of automation and robotization in the workplace is calling into question whether existing labour laws are fit for purpose, as well as the broader impact on the workplace and how trade unions and the law should respond. Thirdly, there is the contribution that labour law might make in tackling rising income and economic inequality. Economic statistics have shown that wage stagnation is rife, despite rising productivity, which means that shareholders are extracting gains at the expense of workers and the consumers of the products and services of employers. 
I'm looking to forge links with colleagues in other schools in the College and find out what colleagues are researching.

More recently, I got interested in the question of infrastructural systems and the unseen labour that underpins them, particularly in the UK. This led to a project focussing on the experiences of refugees working in warehouse and processing industries in and around Sheffield. Broad themes covered through the work address issues of racailisation, urban infrastructures and labour, how experiences of labour emplace and displace refugees from public urban life, and the impacts of UK migration policy and welfare conditionality on refugees’ post-settlement lives and abilities to participate in society. ]]> 2021-07-01 13:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633411299 Pay stagnation https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633442571 and implications for welfare benefits]]> 2021-07-01 13:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633442571 Inequality and lending/ credit https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633443471 2021-07-01 13:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633443471 Labour Market Transformations https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633444120 2021-07-01 13:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633444120 Quality of Work https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633444686 2021-07-01 13:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633444686 Social Movements https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633445235 2021-07-01 13:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633445235 Meta Theme: Work Futures https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633445759 2021-07-01 13:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633445759 Access to interesting and novel datasets and computational infrastructure - and technical expertise to use them https://padlet.com/sgachayeva/yl1bap42lopllj3f/wish/1633454546 but difficult to recruit RAs with correct skills to do technical analysis - pool of technical experts where you can submit RA request (similar to CDCS support for text mining)
