Research

Karin Astrid Siegmann works as a Senior Lecturer in Labour and Gender Economics at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) of Erasmus University Rotterdam in The Hague, The Netherlands. She holds a PhD in Agricultural Economics. For the past decade, her research has been concerned with the intersection of global economic processes with local labour markets, stratified by varying degrees of formality of work, gender, as well as other axes of identity. Her work has identified gendered labour dimensions in a number of critical fields such as global production networks, international migration and financial crises. The geographical focus of her work has been South Asia and Pakistan, in particular. Besides, she has a keen interest in methodologies and epistemologies in development research.
