LaborTech is an interdisciplinary and transnational group of experts concerned with the intersection of where technology meets work. We aim to reframe the conversation about technology and labor towards issues of power, inequality, and social justice, and incorporate themes of feminism, anti-racism, and transnationalism. We also seek to foster an inter-disciplinary, cross-regional, and community-oriented space for discussion, collaboration, and empowerment.</span></div><div style="font-family: NanumMyeongjo;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-family: NanumMyeongjo;" class="">As part of our launch as a nonprofit research network, LaborTech is inaugurating two Awards, one for Book and another for Graduate Student Paper, to honor works which have distinctive intellectual merit or activist impact, and have advanced the knowledge about labor and technology in the global society.
