Dr McGovern's interests are in economic sociology, the sociology of work and labour markets, and international migration.
He is currently working on two areas of research that reflect his long-term interests in labour market inequality and theories of employment relations.
The first concerns trends in immigration policy, especially in the area of admissions, as part of the multi-national and multidisciplinary IMPALA project (http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/impala). In addition, he is investigating the relationship between theory and method in the celebrated ‘case study tradition’ within industrial relations and the sociology of work.
