Short Bio
Maurizio Atzeni divides his time between Argentina and Chile, working as a researcher at CEIL/CONICET and as a Professor of Industrial Relations at the Alberto Hurtado University. His research revolves around two main axes. The first is the study of the nature and dynamics of labour conflict and forms of collective organization of workers. It covers a wide range of cases (the automotive industry, the delivery industry in pre- and post-digitalization contexts, self-managed factories and cooperatives, the informal labour market) to map conflicts and forms of work organization. A second research axis studies the forms of work produced on the basis of contemporary developments in capitalism. This axis refers to a global and interdisciplinary dimension that has been pursued in particular in the publications of the Handbook of the Global Political Economy of Work and previously in Workers and Labour in a Globalised Capitalism. In 2022, he founded the international summer school, LabourTransfer, in Sardinia, which combines the academic world of labour studies with trade union activism and territorial development.
