Research Interests: 

Marcelo Vieta is a PhD candidate (ABD) in the Graduate Programme in Social and Political Thought York University (Toronto, Canada). Since 2005, Marcelo has been researching the historical and political economic backdrop of Argentina's empresas recuperadas por sus trabajadores (worker-recuperated enterprises, or ERTs), their redesigned labour processes as workers' cooperatives, as well as workers' lived experiences of self-management. He recently completed his fieldwork with various ERTs in Argentina and will be defending his dissertation in the spring of 2011. Since 2009, Marcelo has also been a researcher in two projects with the Southern Ontario Social Economy Node: "The Social Economy and Economies of Solidarity: Emerging Initiatives from Latin America" (led by Daniel Schugurensky) and "Fair and Ethical Trade and the Local Public Procurement Policies in Canada" (led by JJ McMurtry and Darryl Reed).

Together with the Extension Program of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the University of Buenos Aires and several other research and activist organizations from the Americas, since 2007 Marcelo has co-organized two conferences in Buenos Aires, Argentina on the theme of the possibilities and realities of the workers' economy, attended by progressive academics, workers, and workers organizations from five continents. He also guest-edited volume 4, issue 1 of Affinities: A Journal of Radical Theory, Culture, and Action on the theme of "the new cooperativism" and has recently taught a fourth year seminar in York University's Business and Society Program (Department of Social Science) entitled "Alternative Economic Firms and Organizations."
