[ecrea] Call for Abstracts: CSCW Workshop on Power Struggles in the Digital Economy

A team of Internet researchers - Airi Lampinen, Gemma Newlands, Ann 
Light, Nicole Immorlica and myself - is organizing a workshop at this 
year's CSCW conference on the topic of "Power Struggles in the Digital 
Economy". The full-day workshop takes places on November 3, 2018, in 
Jersey City (USA) and we aim at discussing interdisciplinary and 
critical perspectives on the power dynamics of digitally mediated labor. 
Participants from all backgrounds are welcome, including media and 
communication scholars.

Workshop goals:
- Bring together researchers within and beyond the CSCW community who 
study digitally mediated labor
- Work towards a shared agenda for research and other action; working 
through questions regarding how exchange platforms as spaces and 
connectors affect broader concerns and what roles design can play in 
creating, affirming, or removing power asymmetries
- Encourage interaction and collaboration not just between researchers, 
but also with practitioners and activists working on related issues
- Support and scaffold collaborative efforts that exceed the duration of 
the workshop
- Facilitate the formation of this sub-community in CSCW and HCI, and 
discuss possibilities for a lightweight collaborative infrastructure to 
sustain it (e.g., a listserv or a wiki page for resources)

More details, including the call for participation, are available on the 
workshop website: https://cscw2018digitaleconomy.wordpress.com/

The deadline for 2-4 page position papers is on August 31 2018, 5pm PDT.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Lutz, Christoph 
<(christoph.lutz /at/ bi.no)> or any of the organizers.
