In “Subcontracting on the Premises: The Subcontracting of Labor-Intensive Functions in Northern Italy,” she explored the practice of appalto (subcontracting) in the Italian economy and explained how and why it came to be so relevant as a form of labor-intensive externalization. Bolelli was a doctoral researcher at the International Max Planck Research School on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy (IMPRS-SPCE) from 2018. She joins the Department of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Milan as a research fellow from February of this year.
