When algorithmic management was new: Engineered standards and the managerial prerogative in Australia
In this article we analyse the significance for critical logistics studies of a neglected chapter in industrial relations history, the introduction of so-called ‘Engineered Standards’ into the Australian food and groceries sector in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We argue that this episode was decisive in establishing the conditions which have allowed algorithmic management to flourish in Australia in more recent years. We argue for the signific…
New worlds of logistical labour: Spaces, places, technologies, workers
This Special Issue offers new research on the dynamic interaction and interdependence of global logistics with spaces of labour, including work, workers, organisations and workers’ communities. It presents ten articles that emphasise the changing nature of logistical labour in the context of radical technological transformation and changing spatial and social configurations. Spanning diverse geographical contexts across five continents, the colle…
Supermarket ‘dark jobs’ and rapid grocery delivery: Transformations in labour, technology and logistics
As demand for rapid grocery delivery surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, Australia’s supermarket duopoly set about transforming relations of labour, technology and logistics to secure dominance in the growing sector. I consider the rise of ‘dark jobs’ of the supermarket and what this means for affected workers. My research encompasses in-depth interviews with 17 supermarket workers, including personal shoppers and dark store workers. I also draw…
Re-politicising the future of work: Automation anxieties, universal basic income, and the end of techno-optimism
Rise of the Robots', the 'Second Machine Age' and 'This Time it's Different' are some of the sweeping headlines that frame contemporary popular narratives of the future of work. It is often claimed that technological change is an accelerating force causing significant disruption to employment, necessitating a universal basic income (UBI) as human labour becomes increasingly redundant. This article interrogates these assumptions and considers how …
Perceived Stress, Resilience, and Wellbeing in Seasoned Isha Yoga Practitioners Compared to Matched Controls During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background Yoga practices, including breathing, meditation, and posture protocols (asanas), have been shown to facilitate physical and mental wellbeing. Methods Seasoned yoga practitioners were recruited from the Isha Foundation. Recruitment of the comparison group was achieved using snowball sampling and were not yoga practitioners. Participants in the non-yoga group were randomized to a 3-min Isha practice or a comparator group asked to perform…
Quantifying the Relationship between Sars-CoV-2 Wastewater Concentrations and Building-Level Covid-19 Prevalence at an Isolation Residence: A Passive Sampling Approach
SARS-CoV-2 RNA loads can be detected in the excreta of individuals with COVID-19 and have demonstrated positive correlations with clinical infection trends. Consequently, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) approaches have been implemented globally as a public health surveillance tool to monitor community-level prevalence of infections. The majority of wastewater specimens are gathered as either composite samples via automatic samplers (autosampl…
Mothers’ parenting stress in Chinese immigrant families: The role of fathers’ involvement and social support
Using a cross-sectional research design, 152 Chinese immigrant mothers and 45 fathers living in the United States completed a previously validated online survey examining how fathers’ involvement in childcare, mothers’ perceptions of social support and reported self-efficacy were related to mothers’ parenting stress. The study purpose was to investigate the association between mothers’ reports of parenting stress and two sources of parenting supp…
The Development of Critical Consciousness in Adolescents of Color Attending “Opposing” Schooling Models
Critical consciousness refers to the ability to analyze and take action against oppressive social forces shaping society. This longitudinal, mixed methods study compared the critical consciousness development of adolescents of color (n = 453) attending two sets of high schools featuring schooling models that represent “opposing” approaches to education. The participating adolescents were 13-15 years old at the start of the study; the majority ide…
Environmental rehabilitation and the vulnerability of the poor: The case of the Great Green Wall
Poor people in rural areas depend directly on functioning agroecosystems. Environmental rehabilitation, culminating in the reestablishment of tree cover, is seen as improving ecological functioning and in so doing, reducing the vulnerability of the poor who rely on these agroecosystems. This is what we refer to as the win-win vision for afforestation, reforestation, and revegetation (ARR) programs – increases in ecological resiliency will lead to…
Fostering the Sociopolitical Development of African American and Latinx Adolescents to Analyze and Challenge Racial and Economic Inequality
Sociopolitical development refers to the processes by which an individual acquires the knowledge, skills, and commitment to analyze and challenge oppressive social forces. A growing body of scholarship reports that high levels of sociopolitical development are predictive in adolescents of a number of key outcomes including resilience and civic engagement. The present study explored the role that urban secondary schools can play in fostering adole…
