'After Work: Life, Labour and Automation' symposium
A collaboration between the wrkwrkwrk collective, Autonomy and the ‘Gender, Technology and Work’ research cluster at the University of West London
On Saturday January 27th 2018, UWL hosted a symposium organised by Autonomy, the ‘Gender, Technology and Work’ research cluster at UWL and the wrkwrkwrk collective. We thought the day went really well and from the feedback we’ve received so far, it seems many others did too! Below are some photos from the event as well as links to recordings of all of the keynotes except Nina Power’s (for whom the recording equipment broke down!)
We’d like to once again thank all of the speakers, the other organisers, the catering staff and the attendees for getting involved.
Phoebe Moore - 'The Quantified Worker'
Nick Srnicek - 'Domestic Work and the Absence of Automation'
Nina Power - 'Sex Robots Social Control and the Technological Construction of Desire'
Francesca Sobande - 'The "Wokefluencers" of Diversity Marketing'
Ramon Amaro - 'Machine Learning, Black Labour and Bio-Epistemic Resistance'
Marina Vishmidt - 'Figure Eight is Half of 4'
Final plenary with all speakers, chaired by Autonomy's Will Stronge
