Fitter, Happier, More Productive: Algorithmic Regimes & the Future of Work
Kia ora koutou katoa / Greetings AOIRers, A quick note to let you know about an event next month that you may be interested in. Clickwork. Quiet quitting. Bossware. Gigging. Automated Management. Precarity. In the face of advanced technologies, post-pandemic conditions, and intersecting economic and ecological crises, labour is undergoing a series of substantial upheavals. Old paradigms are being rethought; new modes of production are being unlocked. Work is being reworked. In some ways, these shifts are unprecedented; in others, they continue long standing inequalities predicated on race, class, and gender. How do we make sense of these digitally-driven shifts and their social, cultural, and political consequences? This two-day event brings together scholars from media and communication, migrant studies, business and management studies, and other disciplines to develop a rich portrait of our changing work conditions. Day 1 will present a series of interdisciplinary papers and provocations from the listed speakers; Day 2 will workshop projects-in-progress through informal presentations and discussions. (Full speaker list and abstracts at the link below) Register Here by April 11: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fitter-happier-more-productive-algorithmic-regi... ngā mihi / best, Luke Munn Digital Cultures & Societies, University of Queensland
