1995-8 Master in Bussiness Administration in Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Madrid.
Until 1999 I worked in several different precarious jobs (locksmith in construction industry, warehouse handler, doorman, accountant assistant). Since then, as a student and as a PhD, I have been interested and working on topics related to sociology of work. Concretely, I pay attention to the influence of contemporary transformations in the world of work over workers´ subjectivities.
My research explores one of those large and deep working
transformations: working time flexibilization. After analyzing the most
important temporal frames which are in process of changing, I look at its
influence on these over the organization of workers´ experiences and over their
process of subjetification. To do so, I will analyze a set of interviews from
banking and petrol companies in Spain.
While visiting the Working Lives
Research Institute I will be working with Tim Strangleman, Chris Wall, John
Kirk, Jane Martin and Steve Jefferys around issues of work identity and
meaning.
