Future of Work

Abstract

In the last few years, both popular and academic outlets have been paying renewed attention to the relationship between technology and work. Often framed through the so-called “future of work,” questions focus on how technological change shapes organizational change and whether new technologies will lead to unemployment and depressed wages. In this virtual roundtable, Patrick McCray (UC Santa Barbara) and Lee Vinsel (Virginia Tech, The Maintainers) will lead a discussion with Diane Bailey (Cornell University) and Yulia Frumer (Johns Hopkins University) on how Science and Technology Studies (STS) and related fields can shed new light on these topics.
