We are delighted to announce the Conference on “Countervailing Platform Power: Regulation, Organizing, and Intersectional Solidarities,” which will take place at Scuola Normale Superiore in Florence (Italy), from 26 to 27 June 2025.
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 institutional responses and collective resistance efforts have emerged to challenge these dynamics.
This conference will explore the role of migration and gender in platformized economies and labor markets while discussing strategies to counter platform power. Topics include regulation, grassroots and labor organizing, intersectional solidarities, and alternative technological infrastructures.
- Submission deadline: 1 April 2025
- Notification of acceptance: Mid-April
Limited travel grants are available for those without institutional funding.
