The major goal of the panel is to develop a shared knowledge of the current social organizational and technological processes transforming labor markets, and lay out research questions that will engage policymakers in imagining brighter futures. The papers on this panel work toward developing an informed central research agenda that will increase the likelihood of positive impact on technology, equity, and work. We anticipate this panel will contribute to an important, and much needed conversation around crucial questions of racial disparities in automation and work, particularly the social and technical challenges of shaping emergent technologies that are equitable and result in “good” jobs for a wider range of workers.
