About

Nicole Wu’s research in political science examines how technological change and automation affect people and their preferences. She studies how individuals, labour groups, and firms perceive technological advancement and its impacts on work and the economy. Her current work, supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, investigates the sources of technological support and opposition and factors that help align the interests of labour and capital owners.
