Background
I started as a PGR at the Work and Employment Relations Division of Leeds University Business School in February 2021. I am researching industrial action in platform-mediated courier work, with a particular focus on the German food delivery industry. I am also part of the Leeds Index of Platform Labour Protest project.
Research interests
- Platform work
