Biography
Kevin
Dwyre is a PhD
student in the department of Political Science and International Relations at the
University of Delaware. His work focuses on the politics of automation and the
relation between technology and power. Specifically, he is interested in how
technology has been historically utilized by capital to subordinate, displace,
and de-skill workers at the level of the firm as well as the strategies employed
by the labor movement to both resist and mediate the introduction of
labor-saving/de-skilling technology. Kevin’s research seeks to situate the role
of human agency and power at the center of technological development and
challenge depoliticizing discourses of technological determinism, especially as
regards structural unemployment and the contemporary nature of work.
Kevin
received his BA from Rhode Island College (Providence, RI) in 2013 with a

degree, he served in Ecuador with the Peace Corps from 2014-2016 and received his
