My dissertation focuses on issues of control, worker experience, and technology among creative workers in an owner-managed firm and a subsidiary of a global firm within the U.S. culture industry. This includes workers in networked occupations that exist outside the boundaries of the firms (audio engineers or producers, YouTube content "creators") and workers in standard employment within the firms (clerical and service staff, analytics workers).
