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.
