This project explores the implications of new technologies on working lives and well-being in diverse urban contexts after the COVID-19 pandemic in the Global South and North.
The project has thus far explored the conditions and impact of the pandemic on the lived experiences of ordinary migrant and non-migrant platform drivers across two cities of India. This project will be expanded to the South-West UK (Bristol) and Europe (Berlin) with local collaborators, with added dynamics documenting changes in user behaviour, consumption and sustainability attitudes in the post-pandemic context.
The work for this project has been hosted and supported by The Open University and the Queen Mary University of London.
