The Workplace Theory & Policy Workshop brings prominent scholars, policymakers, and activists from law and other disciplines to Yale Law School to discuss and analyze recent transformations in society that relate to work, broadly defined. This year’s workshop will include such timely topics as algorithms, artificial intelligence, data collection, and other advanced information technologies; democracy, labor, and the new working class; the four-day workweek; DEI in the private workplace; race, immigration, and exploitation; millennial feminism and work; queer careers; religion and disestablishment at work; and the future of remote work. The seminar will examine how these phenomena affect and are affected by employment and other forms of work, and how current changes present opportunities to achieve greater social and economic justice.
Workshop participants should read the Introduction, Chapter Two, and either Chapter 3 or 4 (or both) of Professor Rogers’ recent book: “Data and Democracy at Work: Advanced Information Technologies, Labor Law, and the New Working Class” (MIT Press, 2023).
For more information, please contact Professor Vicki Schultz or faculty assistant Jorgieliz Casanova.
