Digital Work Futures Research Lab
Research Lab
Researchers at the Digital Work Futures Research Lab (DWF) explore how professionals at the forefront of digitalisation lead, adapt to, and experience the rise of AI-infused platforms, using innovative ethnographic methods to study the changing dynamics of work.
Events
Our Research
Researchers at the Digital Work Futures Research Lab (DWF) advance ethnographic methods to investigate how professionals at the forefront of digitalisation lead and navigate increasingly sophisticated forms of digitised work. Special emphasis is placed on how they experience, anticipate, and adopt emerging and evolving AI-infused platforms, as well as how they respond to the changing spatial and temporal distribution of work driven by digital advances and innovations.
