Jonas Hassemer is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Linguistics, University of Vienna, Austria. His research focuses on ethnographic approaches to multilingualism, language and social inequality, subjectivation and the lived experience of language.

This fascinating ethnography of an Austrian refugee support organisation provides an exceptionally unique window into the fault lines of inequality constituting the neoliberalised workplace in the non-profit sector. Through an extremely thorough analysis of empirical data, Hassemer builds a compelling case for centring language in the analysis of contemporary labour.
