Panos Theodoropoulos is a sociologist currently employed as a Lecturer in Critical Social Science at King's College London. His work encompasses a range of critical analyses concerning the socialization of precarious workers, particularly focusing on how precarity influences their mindset and shapes their resistance capabilities. Theodoropoulos explores themes of capitalism, neoliberalism, precarity, migration, and trade unions, contributing significantly to the understanding of political subjectivities formation. His recent monograph, 'Precarious Migrant Worker: Socialisation Precarity,' published through Polity Press, draws on extensive fieldwork including covert ethnography in six precarious workplaces in Glasgow, showcasing interviews with migrant workers. Through this research, he argues that precarity fosters an individualistic survival-oriented mentality that undermines solidarity among workers. Theodoropoulos is also actively involved in the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and aims to make critical theory more accessible through collective platforms like Interregnum. He also engages in teaching and supervising students at King's College London, guiding research projects that align with his interests in ethnography, trade union struggles, and class consciousness.
