Gabriella Cioce
Since 2022, I am Lecturer in Work and Employment and a member of the Centre for Decent Work at Sheffield University Management School. Previously, I was awarded the ESRC Post-Doctoral Fellowship for my project titled “Overcoming Precarity in the Gig Economy Through Solidarity: A Study of Successful Organizing Practices of Subcontracted Migrant Workers.” I have also worked as a Research Fellow at the Work, Informalisation, and Place Research Centre at Nottingham Trent University.
My research interests include migrant workers, precarious and informal labor, intersectional workplace politics, work in the logistics sector, resistance, and the collective organization of workers. My interdisciplinary approach encompasses Employment Relations, the Sociology of Work, Social Movements, Migration, and Ethnic Studies. In my teaching, I strive to incorporate insights from these various research fields whenever possible.
To date, most of my published work has emerged from my ethnographic study of migrant workers’ mobilizations in the Italian logistics sector, which was the focus of my PhD in Business and Management, awarded by the University of Nottingham in March 2021. My published articles can be found in journals such as Human Relations, Work, Employment and Society, and the Industrial Relations Journal.
