Future of Work and Care
The intersections and regimes of work and care have been significantly disrupted by COVID-19. With recent technological development and artificial intelligence, the world of work and personal life are more complex to manage and blend, and individuals face many challenges. As we recover and imagine how to rebuild our economies, industries and communities, it seems timely to consider the practices, tensions and ways forward in the future of work and care.
This symposium aims to explore research and policy debate around the conceptual and lived experience of work and care in Australia. It is energised by questions: Who will we be in years to come? What approaches to ‘care’ should we consider? How can we create an equitable future of work and care?
The symposium will include, but not be limited to, the following issues and themes:
● AI and the future of work
● Industries, paid work and care
● The Care Economy: aged, disability, childcare and early learning sectors
● Approaches to, and resistances to, human care in the workplace
● Emotional landscapes of work and care
● Intersectional approaches to work and care
● Parental leave policy and return to work practices during COVID-19
● Theoretical issues in studying the future of work and care − particularly for intersectional, feminist and queer theory
The symposium will be held on 3rd May 2024 at accessible venues on the University of Melbourne’s Parkville campus. It will be a hybrid event.
