Job insecurities as invisible traces of globalisation: (re)contextualising employment experiences amongst post-accession migrants living in Glasgow
This paper critically examines the experiences of employment-related insecurities among post-accession migrants living in Glasgow. It is based on 12 months of ethnographic research conducted in 2012 with Czech and Slovak nationals who came to the UK after 2004. Taking a specific spatial and temporal pattern that emerged in my research participants' accounts and career trajectories as a starting point, the analysis draws on Sassen's conceptualisation of the relationship between capital and labour mobility as well as on insights from the literature on the neoliberal restructuring of work.
