Julie's research explores the transformation of work and worker's subjectivity in relation to digital technologies, capitalism, and globalization. She is the founding editor of Platforms & Society and is currently working on two SSHRC-funded projects: a book manuscript examining AI data work and digital working class in China; and a policy project exploring the limitations of the prevailing frameworks of AI safety.

We look forward to Julie's continued contributions to the ICCIT in the years to come.
