Pouvez-vous nous parler de trois articles significatifs dans votre carrière?

Ma recherche en cours, avec co-auteur Chris Tilly de UCLA, s’adresse à l’utilisation des technologies digitales pour les processus de la grande distribution. Le modèle compétitif de l’industrie aux Etats-Unis, sa structure, son appui sur l’érosion de la qualité d’emploi et sa résistance à toutes régulations créent une tendance à l’utilisation de ces technologies vers le remplacement ou la surveillance des employés.

Nous avons analysé les contrastes cross-nationaux macro-institutionnels des sphères productives et reproductives afin de comprendre leur rôle dans la qualité des emplois.  Cet ouvrage nous a permis d’appuyer sur les analyses de « l’effet sociétal » conceptualise par M. Maurice, F. Sellier, and J.J. Silvestre (1982), une approche qui a beaucoup compté dans mon développement professionnel

Pour ceux qui suivent l’évolution des structure d’emploi, un intérêt de longue date est d’explorer les comparaisons entre l’emploi informel (pays du « Sud global ») et les formes d’emploi salariés et indépendants atypiques (pays du « Nord global »).  L’article contraste plusieurs concepts cherchant à caractériser les formes d’emploi subissant une vulnérabilité économique importante.
