Profile
Dr. Hasmet Uluorta is an Associate Professor of Political Studies and Global Justice and Development at Trent University in Peterborough, Canada. He has previously worked as a Lecturer and Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida and was a Visiting Scholar at the University of California in Santa Cruz, California. He also served as the Associate Director of the Center on Ethics at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
Dr. Uluorta’s research interests include (de)globalization, international relations theories, global political economy, development theory, and the impact of technology on self, society, politics, and work. Dr. Uluorta’s current research centres on the themes of self-identification with the nation and techno-capitalism. He is interested in exploring why people and societies consent to certain economic and political systems despite their inherent contradictions.
He is author of the book, The Social Economy: Working Alternatives in a Globalizing Era (Routledge, 2009), which explores alternative understandings of work as both paid and non-paid, and reconsiders these concepts to challenge existing economic theory and policy.
