PhD Summer School Gender AI and Work
FemLab collaborates with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in organizing a PhD Summer School on Gender, AI and Work in Berlin in September 2024. In this summer school, we aim to explore the everyday experiences of female workers within the changing nature of work environments due to new technologies and new forms of work from by looking at the interaction between technological change, labour market institutions and gender from an intersectional/critical perspective (including a feminist economics perspective). We invite submissions related to the topics of everyday
experiences of female workers, including: AI/automation and gender inequality, women in the platform economy, algorithmic bias in hiring and discrimination in the workplace, women in the AI/data/tech driven fields, the ways of debiasing data and the role of trade unions/social partners in workers’ organising.
