Research Group on Collaborative Spaces (RGCS) Symposium 2025
January 23rd - 24th, 2025 Politecnico di Milano, Milan (Italy)
“In-betweenness”: spatial and temporal perspectives on working and organizing.
In today’s rapidly evolving world of work, the traditional boundaries of time, space, and roles are blurring. The rise of remote work (Barrero et al., 2021; Petani & Mengis, 2023; Biagetti et al., 2024), the prevalence of platform technologies (Kellogg et al., 2020), and the increasing mobility of people (Costas, 2013) have compelled scholars to delve into new ways of working and organizing that surpass traditional “static” models, to observe more dynamic processes, contexts, and mechanisms.
In the RGCS 2025 Symposium, we seek to explore these tensions and potentials inherent to the concept of “in-betweenness” by focusing on the (partially still) hidden work and organizing practices that emerge at the intersection of physical spaces, digital tools, and social dynamics.
