Cambridge, September, 2008. On October 1, 2008, Damian Raess will join the Labor and Worklife Program at Harvard University - partner in the international WageIndicator project - on a fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation. Damian did his PhD at the University of Amsterdam, currently Visiting Scholar at MIT.

His new project, entitled Labor in the Global Economy: Workers, Worker Representatives and Employers' Responses to Economic Globalization, will explore how increased international trade and investment affect labor relations and standards in developed and developing countries, and how labor market actors in different political economies are responding to economic openness. Studying working conditions and the responses of workers and employers to globalization in the developed and developing worlds will provide critical insights not only into the possibilities for improvement of conditions worldwide but also into the (dwindling) political support for an open global economy.
