Welfare after Digitalization (WaD) 

 

The research project Welfare after Digitalization (PI: Associate Professor Vasilis Galis) held an international conference in November 2022, during which the WaD-researchers launched a booklet. As you can read in the booklet, it came; 

 

“from the intent to provide a space for well-being and creative expression. Exploring different ways of expressing ourselves, and our experiences in engaging the digitalization of welfare, aided by a variety of individuals who claim writing as their craft. It was an exercise in redistributive care that nonetheless, became entangled in the broader extractivist pressures that increasingly permeate academic hierarchies.” (p. 3)

Digitalization in Practice

 

Digitalization in Practice: Intersections, Implications and Interventions shows that as welfare is increasingly digitalized, an investigation of the social implications of this digitalization becomes increasingly pertinent. The book offers chapters on how the state operates, from the day-to-day practices of governance to keeping registers of businesses, from overarching and sometimes contradictory policies to considering how to best include citizens in digitalized processes. Moreover, the book takes a citizen perspective on key issues of access, identification and social harm to consider the social implications of digitalization in the everyday. The diversity of topics in Digitalization in Practice reflects how digitalization as an ongoing process and practice fundamentally impacts and often reshapes the relationship between states and citizens

> Provides much needed critical perspectives on digital states in practice.

> Opens up provocative questions for further studies and research topics in digital states.

> Showcases empirical studies of situations where digital states are enacted.
