Valeria Pulignano Biography

Valeria Pulignano is one of the most popular and richest Sociologist who was born on May 13, 1968 in Maratea, Basilicata, Italy.

Valeria Pulignano obtained a Bachelors in Economics and Social Science at the University of Calabria (summa cum laude) in 1992, followed by a PhD in Sociology from the same university in 1996. Her dissertation on “Beyond the Factory. Supply Chain and Post-fordism” was published in 1997 with L’Harmanattan. Afterwards, she did a Masters (mark: Distinction) in European Industrial Relations at Warwick University (1998-1997), with dissertation topic: “Teamwork and trade unions representation: Italy and United Kingdom compared”, which was subsequently published (under a similar title) in Capital & Class in 2002. She then spent 1998-2000 as a Post-Doc in Sociology and worked together with Giuseppe Bonazzi [it] at the Department of Sociology, University of Turin. Dissertation Topic: “Outsourcing and the modular organisation of production in the auto sector: Evidence from Brazil, Italy and France”. Based on that work, in 2002 she co-edited with Giuseppe Bonazzi and Michele La Rosa [it] a special issue on “Sociology of Work and Organizational Studies: the State of the Debate in Italy and Great Britain”.

Valeria Pulignano is a scholar of employment relations and labour markets, their changing nature and implications for voice at work and labour market inequality in terms of differences in wages, working conditions, job quality and wellbeing. She focuses on European and national (macro) policy processes as well as (micro) power dynamics, that accompanied the changes within the production organization of large corporations; and their effects on wages working conditions and job quality. This has led to two major contributions: The first is the profound theoretical approach of ‘sociological institutionalism’, where social actors (both capital and labour) – and their power resources – are the central agents of changes within capitalist societies. In her comparative work on employment where she uses a more ‘dynamic’ and less ‘functionalist’ analytical perspective, she has empirically and theoretically contributed to strengthening the sociological political economy (‘power’ as socio-political) dimension within the study of industrial and employment relations and labour markets, and their transformations, which she has approached from a European comparative perspective. The second major contribution is a more complex and novel interpretation which considers capital and labour as social forces (‘agents’) of change whose respective nature has undergone continuous fundamental change. By studying the different forces, actors, and processes that concurrently shape the transformations at work, her research in the last ten years has helped to shed light on the importance of using a macro-micro and micro-macro approach empirically and analytically as a way of linking different levels of analysis through the use of a combination of qualitative and quantitative (mixed) methods.
