Research Bio

In my research practice I am interested in the changing nature of work and the social, political, and economic ideas that shape its future. My work examines how visions of the "future of work" are produced, circulated, and legitimized, particularly in relation to inequality, precarity, and difference. Grounded in feminist economic geography and labour geography, I am especially interested in how workplace transformations intersect with identity, power, and everyday experiences of work.

My doctoral research focuses on the technology sector in Ontario, Canada, where I investigate how remote, hybrid, and return to office arrangements are reshaping employment and working conditions. Drawing on interviews with technology professionals, I explore the tensions that emerge between workers, managers, and executives as expectations around flexibility continue to evolve. More broadly, I examine how geographically dispersed forms of work are creating new possibilities and pressures in working life.

I have also researched the future of work as a cultural and political discourse, studying the conferences, webinars, online courses, and other spaces where ideas about work, technology, and innovation are actively produced and promoted. This work considers how these spaces help construct norms around the "ideal worker" and shape understandings of labour, productivity, and success.

Beyond these projects, my research has explored the social and cultural dynamics of the virtual reality industry and digital platforms, the place of care work within future of work frameworks, creative and speculative approaches to critiquing artificial intelligence, and workplace politics of attention and distraction.
