Research Seminar with Camila Bruning

This is a hybrid event – join us in-person or online!

Dr. Camila Bruning will present a talk entitled “Work, Organizations, and Subjectivity: An Overview of the Research Program.” Camila is a Visiting Researcher at the Sprott School of Business and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology at the Federal University of Paraná.

Description

Since 2017, Camila Bruning has coordinated the “Work, Organizations, and Subjectivity” research program, which is based in the Department of Psychology at the Federal University of Paraná in Brazil, and carried out under the auspices of the Political Economy of Power in Organizational Studies research group (EPPEO). The project welcomes, supervises, supports, and collaborates in research that investigates how the management technologies used in organizations and new work contexts relate to the subjectivity and health of workers. Researchers are currently exploring how workers are impacted by

1. the use of AI technologies and big data analysis in human resource management
2. remote work
3. work mediated by digital platforms
4. bureaucratization in public institutions and public worker health
5. incorporation of refugees and displaced people into the Brazilian workforce

The purpose of this talk is two-fold: to provide an overview of these research initiatives and to invite the collaboration of interested researchers.
