Countervailing Platform Power Regulation, Organizing and Intersectional Solidarities
Category: Event
The rapid expansion of digital platforms has profoundly reshaped labor markets, social movements, and economic structures. While platformization has exacerbated labor precarity and power asymmetries, new forms of institutional responses and collective resistance have emerged to challenge these dynamics. This conference aims to explore the role of migration and gender in platformized economies and labor markets, while discussing ways to challenge platform power. This includes regulation, grassroots and labor organizing, intersectional solidarities, and alternative technological infrastructures. Scholars, activists, unionists, and technologists are invited to contribute from across disciplines that engage with the regulatory, organizational, and technological dimensions of countering platform power. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Migration, Gender, and Digital Platforms • The Platform Work Directive and the Politics of Regulation • Social Movements and Unions in the Digital Age • Digital Commons, Platform Cooperatives, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), and AI for the People
