Ana Alacovska

Ana Alacovska is Associate Professor of the Sociology of Culture at the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark. Her research has been supported by a range of prestigious research grants awarded by the Danish Research Fund, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, DANIDA, H2020 and others. Her current research agenda is driven by a commitment to the empirical and theoretical critique of established notions of precarity, hope and care in creative labor, as practised locally in the creative industries in Africa (most notably Ghana) as well as globally on digital gig work platforms. Her work has found a home in journals such as Sociology, The Sociological Review, Work, Employment and Society, European Journal of Cultural Studies and others.
