Gabriella graduated in Political Sciences at the University of Bologna in 2006 with a thesis on the ‘Europeanisation’ of migration policies. Since then she developed her research in the fields of international migration and labour looking in particular at issues of gender, precarious work and political subjectivity.  After completion of the MSc in Social Sciences Research Methods at Cardiff University in 2007, Gabriella wrote her PhD on the everyday acts of resistance and trade union engagement of migrant women in the hospitality industry in London. Her research develops a new understanding of labour migration and forms of politicisation at the intersection of sociology of work, organization studies and cultural analyses of transnationalism.

Gabriella’s research interests also involve embodied and affective labour in the service industries, social movements and migrant workers’ organizing. She has been awarded a Post-Doctoral Fellowship to disseminate her doctoral study by the Economic and Social Research Council at Queen Mary, School of Business and Management where she is currently a Research Fellow.

Simon's research interests revolve around both theoretical and empirical applications of surplus-based theories to the political economy of modern capitalism. His most recent work focuses on the measurement and explanation of trends in aggregate profitability in developed capitalist economies since the 1960s, with a particular focus on the US economy. He is also (with Roberto Veneziani) exploring the existence and interpretation of Goodwin growth cycles in the US and UK economies.
