Leo Bancau

Member

Department/Centre, Paris Daupinne University

Leo is a doctoral researcher at Paris-Dauphine University. His research is on the changing nature of work and organisations in the digital age. Leo’s thesis focuses on co-presence and how it is experienced and organised in technology-enabled, hybrid ways of working. Using an ethnographic approach, Leo has conducted fieldwork with project teams in various sectors (e.g., consultants, engineering projects). He draws primarily on phenomenological perspectives and process philosophy to consider the bodily, fluid, and technologically mediated nature of contemporary work experiences.
