    I was just in Shock: Identity Work by European Skilled Migrants Following the Brexit Referendum
    This study examines how skilled EU migrants living in the UK respond to and cope with the result of the Brexit referendum in terms of their identities. Our study identifies four distinctive reaction patterns among EU migrants depending on the degree to which they interpreted the Brexit vote as a threat to their identity, and the number of national affiliations they held. We refer to these as EU Patriots, Local Cosmopolitans, Home Country Patriots, and Global Citizens. Each of these distinctive reaction patterns involves different forms of identity work and agency in skilled migrant's professional and personal spheres. Our study provides insights into the way in which identity impacts migrants and expatriates, as well as to the interplay between contextual constraints and agency in the face of identity threats.

    Agency and imprinting in network dynamics: A look across the career life-cycle
    Looking at the evolution of networking behaviours throughout the career life-cycle in a professional service firm (LegalCo) we find distinctive networking foci and activities that come with the tasks and roles of different career stages. Taking a closer look at networking behaviours within each career stage we identify and describe how the networking of high agency (HA) vs. low agency (LA) service professionals differs. We track the differentiation between HA and LA networkers across the career life-cycle from junior associate to partner and identify three overreaching mechanisms of networking agency – seeking out (specific organisational actors), creating imprinting ties and playing on similarities – that account for distinctively different networking paths throughout the career life -cycle. We discuss the career implications and the role of homophily as an underlying groundwork that acts as an enabler or a hurdle to the activation of the identified mechanisms of agency.

Taking a closer look at networking behaviour within each career stage we identify and describe how the networking of high agency (HA) vs. low agency (LA) service professionals differs. We track the differentiation betwwn HA and LA networkers across the career life-cycle from junior associate to partner and identify three overreaching mechanisms of networking agency - seeking out (specific organisational actors), creating imprinting ties and playing on similarities - that account for distinctively different networking parths throughtout the carrer life - cycle.
