My current research project examines young people working in two fields in the urban service sector: logistics and hospitality, focusing on value-production and work subjectivities in the post-Fordist economy. My other research interests include unemployment and workfare policies, ethnicity and migration.

This article examines the role of youth activation in reproducing classed and gendered youth transitions.
