Two articles
Could you tell us a bit about two important articles you've written in your carreer?
I chose these two articles because one deals with migrant IT labour to the Netherlands and the other examines the work experience of child workers on cotton seed farms in India. These two groups belong to two extreme ends of the spectrum in terms of human capital endowments, but both are embedded in global supply chains. The similarity does not end there, but extends to how they experience dis-embeddedness.
