Contrary to the techno-determinism of industry research and the limited focus of some public policy, I trace the social complexities and frictions of the future of work through the example of worker surveillance in the retail industry. I begin by reviewing the history of retail worker surveillance and showing how the social dimensions of worker surveillance have evolved alongside labor processes. Then, I explore a recently-proposed US policy that aims to combat worker surveillance, and I explore how that proposal might look different if it were informed by ethnography. I end by considering speculative methods and design justice frameworks as potential avenues through which applied ethnographers might wrestle with these social complexities and contribute to collectively redesigning futures of work.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":89347,"journal":{"name":"Conference proceedings.

Inspired by ethnographic fieldwork and grounded in pragmatist philosophy, we introduce the concept of “data friction” as the situation when encounters between held beliefs and data patterns possess the potential to stimulate innovative thinking. Contrary to the conventional connotations of “speed” and “control,” we argue that computational methods can generate a productive dissonance, thereby fostering slower and more reflective practices within organizations. Drawing on a decade of experience in participatory data design and data sprints, we present a typology of data frictions and outline three ways in which algorithmic techniques within data science can be reimagined as “friction machines”. We illustrate these theoretical points through a dive into three case studies conducted with applied anthropologist in the movie industry, urban planning, and research.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":89347,"journal":{"name":"Conference proceedings.

However, our evidence suggests we should be sceptical of these maximalist claims. Over the last 18 months our combined team of NLP data scientists and ethnographers has conducted a series of experiments to explore, assess and define the value of LLM-driven research techniques. First, we explore this value pragmatically, as new tools for sensemaking; and second, epistemologically, as we unpack their broader implications for ethnography. We demonstrate how ethnography can usefully “ground” LLMs in two “complex” worlds: that of the user and that of the organisation. We argue the future of research is not automation, but more collaboration between ethnographers and data scientists, as they better integrate their tools and ways of knowing.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":89347,"journal":{"name":"Conference proceedings.

By engaging with the anthropology of bazaars and markets, in particular the work of Clifford Geertz, we show that the qualities of hotel rooms as commodities, and the cultural and price information logics at play, explain why Indian travelers favor friction in the search and booking process. While this paper is concerned with one specific commodity type, in one specific (albeit highly plural) market context, we conclude by outlining how we can generalize our analysis of bazaar behaviors to enrich our understanding of online commerce more widely.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":89347,"journal":{"name":"Conference proceedings.

As a shortcut for efficiency gains, product partners rely on researchers to succinctly summarize deep insights, sometimes preferring reductive quantitative interpretations to enable a bias toward action in product development cycles. Challenges facing researchers in product development include maintaining the relevance of prior research, providing a way to make it evergreen and accessible, and building on it to deepen and expand an existing model of behavior. This case introduces the concept of Research Amnesia, which poses a threat to organizational resilience. Using core ethnographic methods, a strategic methodological approach is outlined to frameshift the value of existing research within a company to develop new insights, bring together disparate analyses and teams, and propel product partners forward by offering more questions as a means to answers.</p>","PeriodicalId":89347,"journal":{"name":"Conference proceedings.
