[Commlist] INDL International Network on Digital Labour – Doctoral Colloquium

Doctoral Colloquium 2019
Call for Submissions – Paris, France, 13-14 June

The International Network on Digital Labour is an association of 
scholars from a variety of backgrounds working on the different areas 
related to digital labour. In its desire to integrate young scholars, 
and to foster collaborations between them and senior members, the 
network launches its first series of Doctoral Colloquia that will take 
place during two events in 2019. This call for participants will be for 
the first one: a half-day workshop that will take place on the second 
day of a conference hosted by France Stratégie (the French Government 
policy institute) and other partners in Paris, France, on the 13 and 14 
June.

The colloquium will welcome MRes, MPhil, and PhD students and candidates 
in different stages of their research who work on the many aspects of 
computer-mediated work, platform economies, online value production, 
automation, and tech-enabled outsourcing. It aims to give junior 
researchers the chance to interact with other scholars working in 
similar areas of interest and discuss their current projects, 
methodological issues, and receive advice on the thesis writing process 
and career prospects. Please note that, while the registration to the 
colloquium is free, the network cannot provide for travel funding.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics for the Paris colloquium:
     * the gig economy
     * work in the sharing economy
     * technology and precarious labour
     * automation and labour
     * platform capitalism
     * freelancing
     * data as labour
     * social media and labour
     * online content creation
     * playbour
     * platform co-operativism
     * technology and the commons.

Since participation in the colloquium is limited, interested applicants 
should prepare a two-page summary of their current project that will 
indicate their research context, hypotheses or research questions, 
methods, issues, and progress to date. The network also requires a brief 
statement indicating their interest in the colloquium. These documents 
should be addressed to (julian.posada /at/ mail.utoronto.ca) 
<mailto:(julian.posada /at/ mail.utoronto.ca)>.
