All aspects of everyday life are affected by the interplay of work and technology. In many ways, technology – from communication and transport to healthcare and connectivity – has changed how we live and work for the better. However, such large-scale technological innovation has also had a negative impact on individuals and societies, including job automation, the digital divide, cybersecurity concerns, increased distractions and decreased face-to-face interaction.
In the Work, Life and Technology major, you’ll investigate the social, economic, ideological and organisational dimensions of technological and occupational interplays, and the way each of these impact people, places and structures. To then deepen and broaden your knowledge, you’ll examine work through the lens of a range of social science disciplines, including sociology, economics, philosophy, geography, computing, politics and international relations. As a graduate, you’ll be able to apply social scientific tools and concepts to better understand the complex interconnections between work, technology and life, and apply these to current examples of social change, conflict, hierarchy and development in diverse settings.
