My thesis explored the production of Bangladeshi domestic orkers' legal status in Hong Kong. Bangladeshi domestic workers started entering Hong Kong in 2013 and they were expected to gradually become one of the major national groups of domestic workers. But within the first two years, 50 to 60% of them left formal employment. In the migration industry, that phenomenon was referred to as the "runaway crisis". While the runaway crisis took place between 2013 and 2015, some Bangladeshi domestic workers still run away. The thesis reflected upon the migration experiences of Bangladeshi women recruited by two employment agencies and one small association of employment agencies and identify forces impacting their decisionmaking over their legal status. The main methodology of the research is feminist ethnography where data were collected during 2-year long field work in Bangladeshi training centers and Hong Kong agencies. The research suggests that domestic workers' legal status is produced in a multi-layered process which includes social structures and power dynamics and affects in migration industry institutions.

Highlights of the research process were the 3 field trips to Bangladesh which allowed me to learn about conditions in which my respondents were prepared to go to Hong Kong.

In 2021 I published a Czech-language non-academic book (novel) Letters from Asia which has already sold out in Czech bookshops.

Author of a chapter in two books:

(1) Asia and China in the Global era

After finishing my studies I started working for businesses that aim to become sustainable. I did evaluations of ESG (environment, social and governance) factors and wrote reports. I am currently working as manager in EIT Urban Mobility (European institute for Innovations and Technology) and I support sustainable mobility.
