Laura Oso is Full Professor (Catedrática de Universidad) at the Faculty of Sociology, Universidade da Coruña. She is the coordinator of ESOMI (Societies in Movement Research Team). Her research has focused on the study of gender and migration, the integration of female immigrants into the labour market (domestic service, sexual work, ethnic entrepreneurship), transnational families, development and intergenerational relations.
She is Vice-president for International Affairs of the Spanish Federation of Sociology (FES) and Member of the Executive Committee at the International Sociological Association (ISA).
Other studies are also remarkable among her research lines, such as the Spanish emigration in France (female domestic workers and female caretakers, second generation) and the analysis of migrations from the perspective of intergenerational strategies and trajectories for social mobility. She equally works on the gender nexus linking gender, migration and development.
She partakes in competitive International Research Networks.
