[Nancy Russo]

*Workshop: 11 December, 2016, 9:00-15:00, Dublin, Ireland*

*Submission deadline: 13 September, 2016 *

*Notification of acceptance: 11 October, 2016*


In our increasingly connected world, the nature of work is changing.
Digital innovation has led to the emergence of new types of jobs, while
other jobs have become obsolete. There is more flexibility in terms of
when, where, and how we work.  ICT has enabled greater accessibility to a
variety of jobs by eliminating barriers due to physical, visual, or other
restrictions.  Along with the positive impacts of digital innovation, there
are also potential negative impacts of ICT on the workplace, particularly
regarding new methods of employee monitoring and the blurring of boundaries
between home and work.  These and other issues related to the impact of
digital innovation on work will be explored in this workshop.

5 pages) related to the changing nature of work*.
