I’m Gislene, a scholar fascinated by studying how people, space, and technology intertwine to understand new ways of working and organising. In simple words, I study work. My focus is on the changing nature of what knowledge workers do, given the technological sophistication permeating their doing, which fundamentally changes our relationship with space.
My research follows a qualitative approach, exploring different methods, from interviews and observations to archival data – the big three, as Langley describes them. As work becomes increasingly hybrid, or in other words, within a new terrain emerging from the fusion between bodies and screens, I love trying out new ways of collecting and analysing data to understand how people move between distinct material worlds.

I love engaging with students and inspiring them to the next level while they learn about the scholarly way of studying and thinking about the world. I genuinely believe we can make a societal impact if we take a holistic view of the learning processes, aiming to balance the context and content pressures students experience. Moreover, I support scholars worldwide by actively reviewing and pushing dialogues through academic service.
