Virginia Leavell serves as Assistant Professor in Organisational Theory and Information Systems at Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge. Her research investigates how organisations anticipate technological change through digital prediction systems, AI, and infrastructure transformation, drawing on her decade-long background in political organising for non-profits and labour groups across the US and Thailand. Her academic credentials include: BA in Interdisciplinary Studies, Georgetown University MA in Sociology, University of California Santa Barbara PhD in Technology Management, University of California Santa Barbara Leavell's scholarly work centers on organisational anticipation of technological futures, employing ethnographic and social network analysis methods to examine digital transformation in critical infrastructure contexts. She explores how predictive technologies reshape organisational structures and actions before technological change fully materializes, with particular focus on water systems, urban planning, and labor industries where digital twins and simulation technologies create new governance challenges. Analysis of her 2017-2024 publications reveals consistent examination of prediction performativity across sectors, demonstrating how digital models influence physical realities in infrastructure management. Her research trajectory shows increasing emphasis on sociomaterial dimensions of anticipatory organising, with recent work interrogating the equalization of human and technological agency in digital transformation processes.

Dr. Yujie (Julie) Chen is an Associate Professor (on leave) at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Information, affiliated with the Department of Communication, Culture, Information & Technology (CCIT). Her work focuses on digital media's political economy, platform capitalism, and digital labour studies. She authored Super-Sticky WeChat and Chinese Society , analyzing WeChat's societal integration and platform power dynamics in China. Her research critiques how labour is marginalized in datafication discourse, particularly in platform-mediated sectors like ride-hailing (DiDi) and food delivery. Key themes include algorithmic control, worker resistance, and the interplay between technology, state policies, and labour conditions in China. Dr. Chen’s work bridges sociotechnical systems analysis with critical political economy frameworks. Her recent studies explore temporal exploitation in platform labour (e.g., food delivery workers’ time management), gamification of work processes, and the 'digital utility' concept deployed by platforms to justify market dominance. She frequently presents at conferences like AoIR and ICA, emphasizing global platform capitalism’s socio-economic impacts. Dr. Chen is completing a book manuscript examining labour’s erasure in datafication narratives and advocating for analytical frameworks that foreground embodied labour experiences. Her research also intersects with global South labour comparisons, notably between China and the Philippines in platform economies.

Key contributions explore the "invisible cage" of algorithmic control, the experimental nature of platform management, and the sociological implications of AI-driven workplace restructuring. His research bridges management theory, sociology of work, and technology studies to address critical questions about fairness, autonomy, and accountability in the algorithmic age. Analysis of his publication trajectory reveals a clear evolution from creative occupations research (2017) toward concentrated investigation of algorithmic labor platforms (2021-2025). His work consistently demonstrates how digital platforms reconfigure worker autonomy through experimental management practices, opaque evaluation systems, and novel control mechanisms, while simultaneously generating new forms of worker resistance and activism. The 2024 book "Inside the Invisible Cage" synthesizes these insights into a comprehensive framework for understanding algorithmic worker control. Professor Rahman's exceptional contributions have earned him significant recognition: National Science Foundation CAREER Award recipient for bridging STEM skills and employment gaps George R.

Her institutional affiliations extend to research fellowships at Stockholm's Institute of Retail Economics and Jönköping's Centre for Entrepreneurship and Spatial Economics (CEnSE). Her academic foundation includes a 2014 PhD in Economics with specialization in Urban and Regional Economics from Jönköping International Business School, complemented by doctoral research at the University of Illinois' Regional Economics Applications Laboratory (REAL). Prior academic appointments include Assistant Professor at Jönköping International Business School and Researcher at Stockholm's Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN). Research Interests: Öner's scholarly work critically examines migration dynamics, labor mobility patterns, micro-geographic segregation mechanisms, ethnic enclave formation, retail/service geography, urban amenity distribution, entrepreneurial geography, and political spatial organization. Her methodological approach heavily leverages geocoded register data and spatial econometric techniques to investigate how geographic context shapes economic behavior, with particular emphasis on Swedish and European urban systems. This interdisciplinary framework bridges spatial economics, economic geography, and migration studies through rigorous quantitative analysis of neighborhood-level phenomena. Publication Trends: Her recent output (2023-2025) demonstrates evolving focus toward infrastructure-impact analysis (tramway effects on commercial vitality), refugee labor market integration pathways, and micro-scale retail/ethnic enclave dynamics. Methodologically, she increasingly employs synthetic control approaches and granular geospatial data to isolate causal mechanisms in urban economic processes, while maintaining strong connections to policy-relevant questions about segregation, integration, and commercial geography. Scientific Awards: Handelsbanken Wallander postdoctoral scholarship (2015) Young Investigator Award in Italy (2018) Young Researcher Award in Sweden (2019) from the Swedish Entrepreneurship Forum Advising and Public Engagement: As Director of Studies at Sidney Sussex College, Öner oversees academic progression for undergraduate students. She actively translates research into public discourse through monthly columns in Svenska Dagbladet (The Swedish Daily News), where she analyzes contemporary socioeconomic issues through her spatial economics lens. While specific doctoral advisees aren't documented in source materials, her leadership roles indicate significant mentoring responsibilities. Research Networks: Öner maintains active collaboration through dual research fellowships: at Stockholm's Handelns Forskninginstitut (Institute of Retail Economics) where she examines commercial geography, and at Jönköping's CEnSE focusing on spatial entrepreneurship patterns. These positions facilitate cross-institutional research on retail dynamics, migration geography, and urban economic structures using Scandinavian longitudinal datasets.
