Current Work
Ernesto Noronha has a long-standing interest in diversity and inclusion in organisations. He began with studying how ethnicity was mobilised to access standard jobs and secure career mobility in a surplus labour market like India. This work then spawned interest in other identities such as caste which continues to be persistent and pervasive even among the South Asian diaspora despite forces of change such as modernization, globalization and regulatory and policy initiatives. He has also worked on cross cultural issues that confront Indian IT employees when they migrate to countries like the Netherlands. His interest in bullying at work now extends to the experiences of the LGBTQA+ community which underscores how the community moves from fear to courage in the broader organizational and hostile social context. In future, he would want to focus on the intersectionality of caste and the LGBTQA+ community and how diversity and inclusion play out in a digitised workspace.
