Expanding the Scope: Other Forms of Platform Labour

Academic Symposium

This symposium will bring together scholars working on various forms of platform-mediated labor, including areas beyond the dominant focus on gig work. Through a series of short research presentations, the event will highlight under-studied contexts such as gaming, social media, and livestreaming, as well as unpaid, informal, and hybrid forms of digital work.

The symposium contributes to the SSH-Breed themes “Digitalisation, new ways of working and the new employee” and “Digitalisation and platformisation of work processes and products” by examining how platformisation and digitalisation reshape labor relations beyond traditional employment models. 

The programme is currently being finalised, and speakers will be confirmed shortly. The event will conclude with drinks, providing an opportunity for networking and informal discussion.

Organized by Fabian Schlott (ESHCC), Anna Elias (ISS), Phuong Hoan Le (ESSB), and Charlotte Pennings (intern) from the Platform Labor Group at Erasmus University Rotterdam/
