Francesca Coin is a Fixed-term researcher in the Department of Systems Engineering and Industrial Technologies (DISTI) at the University of Parma. She teaches courses including Sociology of Work for the Master's Degree in Organizational, Digital and Administrative Innovation in the Public Administration, as well as Work and Society in the Digital Age and Economic Sociology of Work for the Bachelor's degree in Management Engineering. Dr. Coin's research focuses on the sociology of work, particularly examining precarious labor, digital transformations of work, social reproduction, and the impact of neoliberalism on contemporary labor relations. Her work explores how workers navigate changing economic landscapes, with special attention to desertion from undesirable jobs, class recomposition, and the ambivalent relationship between workers and the digital revolution. She investigates how technological changes have reshaped work identities and created new forms of exploitation while simultaneously offering potential avenues for resistance. Her publications span multiple theoretical frameworks including Marxist feminism, post-structuralist analyses of subjectivity, and critical examinations of digital capitalism. Analysis of Coin's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on contemporary labor issues across multiple dimensions. Her work spans theoretical examinations of precarity and neoliberal subjectivity alongside empirical studies of specific sectors like the restaurant industry. A notable trend is her attention to how workers respond to changing conditions—whether through desertion, reorganization, or resistance. Her research bridges sociology, political economy, and cultural studies, creating a multidimensional understanding of work in the 21st century. The temporal progression of her work shows an evolution from broader theoretical frameworks toward more specific case studies while maintaining a critical perspective on power relations in labor contexts. Francesca Coin has mentored numerous students through her teaching roles in Management Engineering programs at the University of Parma. Her courses on the sociology of work, economic sociology, and work in the digital age provide students with critical perspectives on contemporary labor markets and organizational dynamics. While specific grant information is not detailed in the available materials, her extensive publication record across multiple decades suggests sustained research activity supported by institutional and potentially external funding mechanisms. Her methodological approach appears to combine theoretical analysis with empirical investigation, particularly evident in her recent case study of the Italian restaurant industry, and she demonstrates engagement with oral history through her 2024 publication 'The Terkel Method: Work, Social Inquiry and the Art of Astonishing'.
