Ariane Ollier-Malaterre, Ph.D., is the Canada Research Chair in Digital Regulation at Work and in Life and the Director of the International Network on Technology, Work and Family at the University of Quebec in Montreal (ESG-UQAM), Canada.

Specifically, she is interested in:
(1) Attitudes towards digital technologies in several realms of life (e.g., social media, remote and hybrid work, employee surveillance, algorithms, human-machine communication, digital parenting) and different national contexts (e.g., Western industrialized countries, China, Global South);
(2) Strategies to manage constant connectivity, online self-presentation, privacy and surveillance, and the outcomes of these strategies at work and in life;
(3) Collective digital regulation by organisations, unions, and policy makers (e.g., right to disconnect, restrictions on bossware use, AI and privacy legislation) and their outcomes on human and civil rights.
She has published Living with Digital Surveillance in China. Citizens’ Narratives on Technology, Privacy, and Governance (Routledge, 2023) and over 75 peer-reviewed chapters and co-authored articles in management, sociology, psychology, information systems, and interdisciplinary journals (e.g., Academy of Management Review, Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Management, Human Relations, Annual Review of Sociology, Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Vocational Behavior, Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Computers in Human Behavior, Community, Work and Family).
