Introduction
I am currently a Research Fellow in the Leverhulme Trust funded project ‘Biology, Data Science, and the Making of Precision Education’. I am interested in how forms of power are enacted and structural inequalities reproduced or contested through the nexus between policies of social reproduction (economy, education, healthcare, work), scientific knowledge production and new technologies .

The mental health and well-being of university staff and students in the UK are reported to have seriously deteriorated. Rather than taking this ‘mental health crisis’ at face value, we carry out network and discourse analyses to investigate the policy assemblages (comprising social actors, institutions, technologies, knowledges and discourses) thr...
Looking at episodes of spectacular policing in Greece between 2012 and 2013, I analyse the Greek state’s attempt to manage a political crisis in the context of lost sovereignty over economic and monetary policy and the imposition of a neoliberal restructuring. How are we to understand the concurrency between crisis, which involved the production of...
Student mental health and well-being is a focus of great attention and concern. While research is increasingly investigating institutional factors that might affect mental health and well-being, university infrastructures and frameworks themselves are rarely considered. This Short Communication takes the United Kingdom as an exemplary case to outli...
Confronting mass lay-offs, wage cuts, increasingly precarious conditions, unpaid work, employer violence, and mass unemployment, workers in Greece have organized strikes, workplace occupations, action outside workplaces, and attempts at self-management. These practices, and their strengths and limitations in the context of the crisis, are analyzed...

This paper addresses the question of the periodisation of capitalism and the class relation, and the place of Greek capitalism within such a history. The purpose of this periodisation is not to formulate an economic history but to understand historical shifts in the class relation in Greece, which I attempt to locate within the history of capitalis...

The book focuses on three interlinked areas: a) social movements and the rise of nationalism in the context of the sovereign debt crisis in Greece; b) the governmental policies and policing aimed at managing the crisis and protest; and c) the political economy of crisis and Greece’s economic and symbolic position within postcolonial international hierarchies. Based on extensive ethnographic and documentary research of a broad range of social movements, I trace the shaping of movement practices and political discourses, through their encounter with the antinomies of crisis: the crisis of the nation-state in the context of financial governmentality, an increasingly unequal international division of labour, and migratory tendencies. The goal is to draw light to moments of collective action and solidarity that open avenues beyond the contrast between national democratic sovereignty and a global financialised capitalism, which is dominant in the current public and academic political discourse.
