Welcome
Welcome to the website of WorkPanRisk!
Here we introduce the project, its team and its research.
The corona pandemic has profound implications for the world of work. Physical distancing measures are changing the organization and practices of work and accelerating a digital transformation of the world of work. The DFG-funded research project "Work in Times of Corona - Risk Politics and Dynamic Boundary Management of Work under Conditions of SARS-CoV-2" explores this transformation based on comparative qualitative empirical case studies in software development, small and medium-sized manufacturing companies, theater operations, and health care. Beyond an analysis of the consequences of SARS-CoV-2, the project aims to advance the understanding of the consequences of pandemics on the world of work and to contribute to the development of precautionary strategies of risk governance in times of (pandemic) crises. The project combines expertise in the sociology of work with perspectives from science and technology studies and governance research.
