Dr David Mangan has published “From Monitoring of the Workplace to Surveillance of the Workforce” in Decent Work in the Digital Age (edited by Tamás Gyulavári and Emanuele Menegatti) (Hart/Bloomsbury). David argues that surveillance has moved from being of the workplace, to being of the workforce. The distinction is between the orthodox fixed location of work and the broad capture area of 21st century surveillance technologies.
David researches in the areas of employment/labour law as well as private law obligations (such as privacy), with a focus on the impact of information technology in these areas. His work has been published in Europe, the UK, the US, and Canada. Amongst other research projects, he is currently engaged in Varieties of Industrial Relations in Aviation Lockdown (VIRAL) (a project funded by the EU’s DG Employment), as well as an EU-wide study of privacy in the workplace entitled Privacy@Work. David is also a member of the editorial boards of the European Labour Law Journaland the Italian Labour Law e-Journal. He is co-editor of the Global Workplace Law & Policy blog. David also teaches as part of Osgoode Hall’s Professional Development Legal Education in Toronto as well as the dual degree programs at the Faculty of Law, Université Catholique Lyon. For the 2022-23 academic year, is a Global Professor at KU Leuven’s Faculty of Law & Criminology.
