Defining identities linked to labour relations has been a problem that has perplexed scholars. To accommodate technological nuances into defining these identities has proved an even more puzzling endeavour. But, our guest today has delved deep into such matters and done so very prudently. Joining us on this episode of Technology Together is Prof. Winifred Poster, a feminist scholar of labour and technology. Winnie’s extensive research on digital globalization has led her to follow high-tech firms from the US to India through earlier waves of computer manufacturing and more recently, in the context of back-office work and call centres. Her work examines how information communication technologies are changing the meaning of work, dispersing it transnationally, incorporating new types of workers, and reshaping identities. In this episode, we speak with Prof. Poster about the political economies of transnational labour.
