Mariana Manriquez earned her PhD in sociology at the University of Arizona. Her research and teaching interests are centered in understanding how the ubiquitous presence of digital technologies are transforming work practices and worker’s identities. As a Mexican American scholar who grew up in the Borderlands of Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico, she has an acute sensibility for noting how transformations of work amid technological reconfigurations are experienced differently in the everyday of each locale. Her ethnographic research on ride-hailing and food delivery gig work in Mexico are published in New Media and Society and Research in the Sociology of Work. She is enthusiastic about writing, reading and critically reflecting on the impacts of technology on society alongside her students at SJSU.
