Our paper “Why lose control?” A Study of Freelancers’ Experiences with Gig Economy Platforms” has received Best Paper award at CHI 2021. This is given to the top 1% of submissions to highlight a paper of particularly high quality and that stands above other submissions in terms of overall quality, novelty, and/or potential for impact.

I was interviewed live by Deutsche Welle TV News , Germany’s international broadcaster on their show ‘The Day’ about work-life balance in the gig economy [22 Feb 2021].

We have submitted written evidence to the UK Parliament, in response to two inquires – one from the Lords’ Select Committee Covid-19 Committee “Living Online: The Long-Term Impact On Wellbeing” and one from Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee in response to the evidence call, “The impact of coronavirus on businesses and worker”.
I am the Athena SWAN Lead for the Computer and Information Sciences Dept. at Northumbria University.
