Profile

Dr Martí Lopez Andreu

Senior Lecturer in HRM and Employment Relations

Background

I am a Researcher and Senior Lecturer in HRM and Employment Relations. Before joining 缅北禁地 I hold positions at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the University of Huddersfield, the University of Leicester and the University of Manchester.


My research interests are in the field of Sociology of Work, Employment Relations and Labour Studies. I have a special interest on the changes and continuities in the world of work and employment, with a focus on precarity and insecurity at work, trends in employment relations, new dynamics in working lives, and emerging forms of labour protest and organisation. My research has a strong comparative approach and it has been funded by the European Commission, the British Academy, the Director of Labour Market Enforcement and the Economic and Social Research Council, among others.


I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Research

My areas of interest include:

  • Changes in employment regulation institutions and the impact of neo-liberal policies.
  • Industrial relations, including union practices and emerging forms of protest/collective action.
  • Precarious work, precarious workers and insecurity in the workplace.
