SUMMARY:Report Launch: Fairwork UK Ratings 2023 – A Call for Transparency
DESCRIPTION:Digital labour platforms are increasingly challenging conventional employment relations and shaping the future of work in the UK. On the one hand\, gig work promotes economic growth and the creation of new jobs lowers labour market entry barriers for some workers\, and provides job flexibility to those who need it. On the other hand\, companies might slip through existing regulatory frameworks and workers experience unfair working conditions on the platforms. \nThis year’s report ‘Fairwork UK Ratings 2023: A Call for Transparency’ evaluates working conditions at 12 of the most popular digital labour platforms in the country\, including Amazon Flex\, Bolt\, Deliveroo\, Getir\, Gorillas\, Just Eat\, Ola\, Pedal Me\, Stuart\, Task Rabbit\, Uber\, and Yoopies. Our findings reveal that there are significant shifts underway in the platform economy in the wake of a tech financing collapse\, a cost-of-living crisis\, and the alleviation of COVID-19 restrictions for a whole year. Whilst the pandemic may have been halcyon days for platform companies\, the reality is starting to bite. We’ll be asking whether workers are left paying the price.\n \nPROGRAMME: \n14.00 – Welcome \n14.15 – Presentation of report findings \n14.45 – Panel discussion \n16.00 – Live audience Q&A \n16.30 – Networking \n*Drinks and light refreshments will be provided. \nPRESENTERS: \nDr. Adam Badger\, Lead Researcher\, Fairwork UK\, Oxford Internet Institute \nDr. Funda Ustek-Spilda\, Senior Researcher and Project Manager\, Fairwork UK\, Oxford Internet Institute \nEXPERT PANELLISTS:\n \nDr Sarrah Kassem – Lecturer\, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences\, University of Tübingen \nEmma Selinger – Ventures Manager\, Resolution Foundation \nMichael ‘Six’ Silberman – Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Bonavero Institute of Human Rights\, Faculty of Law\, University of Oxford \nFerdousara Uddin – Regional Organiser\, GMB Union

SUMMARY:CALL FOR PAPERS for a collaborative workshop: Global Infrastructures: The Production of the Modern World
DESCRIPTION:In the last twenty years\, in correspondence with the growing importance assumed by Global History\, numerous studies have analysed past border-crossings and long-established transnational networks. A collaborative workshop organized by the Institute of Contemporary History at Nova University\, Lisbon\, and the University of Bologna\, Italy\, intends to contribute to the discipline by promoting a collective investigation of the origins and development of global infrastructures\, emphasizing how their construction interacted with colonial projects\, capitalist ventures\, and cultural superstructures. \nThe workshop will focus on questions such as: \n\nWhat global infrastructures have contributed to the construction of the modern world and the establishment of a single world market?\nWhich public and private actors have participated to the construction and securing of global infrastructures?\nWhat ecologies of labour have been mobilized during the erection of global infrastructures?\nWhat forms of resistance and sabotage have opposed and slowed down the development of planetary infrastructures?\nWhat has been the impact of climate change and the ecological crisis on global infrastructures?\nHow can the concept of infrastructure contribute to expand Marxist theories beyond the traditional distinction of economic structure and cultural superstructure?\nHow can historical approaches help us rethink the relation between global infrastructures and imperialism?\n\nWe welcome papers dealing with all these aspects from an interdisciplinary perspective. Interested scholars are invited to send a long abstract between 400 and 700 words and a short bio to policante@fcsh.unl.pt and/or to mattia.frapporti2@unibo.it by the 9th of May. \nSuccessful applicants will be communicated by the 12th of May and invited to the final workshop that will take place on the 9th of June 2023 at the University of Bologna in the Department of Arts. \nLearn more about the topic
