NIC0626
Digital Work Futures Research Lab Seminar
In this talk, Professor Anette Hallin and Professor Chris Ivory will explore how sociomaterial imaginaries of working with and through digital technologies shape the futures of work. Drawing on a recently published book co-authored with colleagues from the DIGMA group at Mälardalen University, Professor Hallin will present a rich set of empirical examples before turning to the most pressing question: what kind of future of work do we want?
