Dr Emrah Ali Karakilic
Lecturer in Management and Organisation StudiesProfile
I am a lecturer in the Department of Organisation, Work and Technology and Programme Director of Management and Digital Technologies BSc (Hons).
I hold a PhD in sociology from Goldsmiths, University of London, and I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
I was book review editor of (2022–2026) and remain a member of its editorial board. I also served as an editor for the open-access, non-profit, press (2021–2025).
Research Interests
My research programme is as interdisciplinary as my educational background (Double major in business and sociology, MA in philosophy, PhD in sociology). It spans critical political economy, continental philosophy, and organisation studies. In particular, my research interrogates the evolving nature of capitalism with a dedicated focus on technological change, the politics of production, and the relationship between human subjectivity and socio-economic structures. This research has culminated in sole-authored articles in leading journals including Work, Employment and Society, Organization, Environment and Planning A, and Technological Forecasting and Social Change.
Since joining Lancaster, I have extended this programme to the futures of AI across work, organisations, and society, carrying a critical approach into questions of urgent public significance.
PhD Supervision Interests
I welcome the opportunity to supervise doctoral research students whose interests align with my areas of expertise.
