Morwenna joined IES in January 2018. Her research interests include structural disadvantage in the workplace, the expansion of precarious employment and comparative European labour market research. Morwenna has a particular interest in the 'gig-economy'; her postgraduate dissertation examined the interplay between precariousness, immigrant masculinities and entrepreneurial identity amongst ride-sharing gig economy workers in London.
Previously, she has worked as a parliamentary researcher in the House of Commons and completed several small-scale research studies for development NGOs in Uganda and Cameroon.
