Summary
Blair Wang is a business information technology researcher and lecturer with 11 years’ experience helping learners and workers navigate the digital-era workplace. He researches upskilling, nomadic entrepreneuring, and the performative labour of videoconferencing—work that connects practical classroom tech (SQL, Python, Java, TypeScript, R, Linux) with human-centred questions like autonomy and “entrepreneurial tenacity.” Having taught over 1,400 university students across Australian and European institutions, Blair blends hands-on coding instruction with strategies for resourcefulness, improvisation, and thoughtful use of AI. He is managing editor at the European Journal of Information Systems and hosts the long-running 10 Minute I.S. Paper podcast, translating academic work into accessible insights. His background spans industry consulting roles and a PhD in Information Systems, enabling him to bridge rigorous scholarship and applied teaching. Colleagues describe him as someone who studies the paradoxes of digital work while actively equipping others to thrive within them.
