About
Phoebe Moore is a prominent scholar working at the intersection of labor studies, digital technology, and workplace governance, with particular expertise in how emerging technologies reshape human work and well-being. Her most influential contribution, "The Quantified Self: What Counts in the Neoliberal Workplace" (2015), has garnered over 400 citations and established her as a leading voice in critical debates surrounding self-tracking technologies. Drawing on new materialist theory, Moore challenges the Cartesian mind-body dualism embedded in workplace quantification practices, arguing that workers are increasingly compelled to measure their own productivity and health in ways that serve neoliberal managerial agendas rather than worker interests. Moore's subsequent research has expanded into the urgent terrain of artificial intelligence and the future of work. Her 2019 examination of AI tools in occupational safety and health, alongside her critical inquiry into whose values AI systems reflect, demonstrates her sustained commitment to centering human dignity in technological discourse. Her 2024 editorial on AI and human agency signals her continued relevance as these debates intensify globally. Collectively, Moore's body of work offers students and researchers an indispensable critical framework for understanding how digital and automated systems reconfigure power, labor, and identity in contemporary workplaces.
