Inaugural Lecture by Professor Graham Sewell (Dept. of Management & Marketing) - 29 July
Date: Tuesday, 29 July 2008
Time: 6.00pm with refreshments to follow at 7.00pm
Venue: Theatre 1, ICT Building
Topic: ‘Big Brother versus a Fair Go: Is Workplace Surveillance Coercive or Does It Guarantee Our Rights at Work?’
This lecture traces the intellectual origins of the opposing views that surveillance is a guarantor of fairness in the workplace or that it reinforces the unfairness at the heart of the employment relationship, and shows that, if taken in isolation, neither provides a satisfactory account of what managers do and why they do it. Only by considering them together can we begin to understand the experience of being subjected to workplace surveillance.
Graham Sewell graduated from the University of Wales Institute of Science & Technology (now Cardiff University) with an honours degree in urban planning. He received his PhD in 1994, through an Economic & Social Research council scholarship from Cardiff University, the University of California, Berkeley and University of California, Santa Cruz. Graham joined the University of Melbourne in 1997. His research interests are wide ranging, however, he is best known for his work on the disciplinary effects of workplace surveillance. His work has appeared in premier journals and he is on the editorial board of Human Relations, Organization, and Management Communication Quarterly, and has just been appointed as a senior editor to Organization Studies.
