Spencer’s doctoral work examines how hybrid and remote work arrangements are reshaping organizational culture, labor practices, and everyday working life. Drawing on theories of deep mediatization and meaning-making, his dissertation research investigates how digital infrastructures, platform governance, and post-pandemic workplace policies influence temporal expectations, identity formation, and experiences of productivity. His dissertation contributes to emerging discussions of digital labor, organizational change, and the evolving relations between workers, employers, and technological systems in the contemporary workplace.
