Personal profile

Curriculum vitae

I aim interested in the social and political consequences of labour market changes in post-industrial West European countries. I also investigate how social policies can improve or worsen social divides arising form such labour market changes. In my current work, I look at the case of automation.

I also maintain an interest in the reproduction of social class in Singapore.
