SUMMARY:Chokepoints in Logistics. Organizing potentials in the logistics sector in Poland in times of crises
DESCRIPTION:On January 9 2024\, the HuLog project will give an online seminar where our partners from the University of Wrocław Szymon Pilch and Adam Mrozowicki will give a presentation about “Chokepoints in Logistics. Organizing potentials in the logistics sector in Poland in times of crises”. \nThe presentation reconstructs the worker’s power (“organising potentials”) of Amazon’s Poland employees in times of polycrises and it will focus on the following: \n\nLogistics as choke-point of global capitalism (Alimahomed-Wilson & Ness 2018): further rise of workers’ structural power during Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent\, interlinked crises vs. ongoing precarisation\, algorithmic control and anti-union strategies.\nThe question of the conditions which allow workers’ structural power and societal power to be “converted” (Bourdieu 1986) into associational power: What are the organizing potentials in the context of increased workers’ structural power in the times of post-pandemic interlinked crises?\nInterviews with workers and trade unionists in three sections of the logistics in Poland: logistic centres\, parcel- and online food-delivery\, truck transport.\nPoland is chosen as the representative country in which private logistics industry is very weak unionised\, but at the same time one can observe a variety of union innovative practices in the recent years to mobilise and represent workers.\n\n  \nIf you are interested in participating in the event\, please\, register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSczVXjldfhgJpEVcjw2yExXAtMS3lUALxTBujVolB8-t0yIEA/viewform

SUMMARY:CALL FOR PAPERS: “Looking back\, moving forward” : Re-assessing technology regulation in digitalized worlds
DESCRIPTION:Call for papers. The deadline for submission is January 31\, 2024\nThey value the multi- and inter-disciplinary approach highly\, yet are also open to specialized papers on a relevant topic from a particular scientific discipline. \nThey welcome: \n\nExtended abstracts for presentation of research papers\, position papers\, works-in-progress and other academic contributions fitting the conference theme.\nProposals for panels and interactive workshops fitting the conference theme.\n\nMore information here and on the official website! \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Tilburg Institute for Law\, Technology\, and Society (TILT)\,  is delighted to announce the 8th edition of the TILTing Perspectives Conference “Looking back\, moving forward: Re-assessing technology regulation in digitalized worlds”. \nThe conference will take place on July 8\, 9\, 10\, 2024 at the Tilburg University campus and will coincide with TILT’s 30th anniversary celebrations. We see this as a fitting moment to take stock of decades of technology regulation and how it impacts our lives and the digitalized worlds around us. \nLooking back\, moving forward: What has been accomplished? By whom? And where? What is missing? Who is missing? What can we say about the relations between technology-focused regulation and other regulatory foci and modes of standard-setting? \nReflecting on these questions leads us along diverse paths of inquiry. In the realm of governance: the ways in which different forms of technology regulation are being designed\, critiqued\, promoted\, exported\, and rejected\, raise questions of standing and agency with regard to technology as a power\, as well as on regulatory power. On the intersection of human rights & technology\, perceived challenges to a broad range of established fundamental rights raise questions about the suitability of old and new legal frameworks such as treaty law and national constitutions\, the proposed EU AI Act\, Data Protection\, and Cyber and Data Security regulation — not least in situations of warfare. Questions with regard to competition & innovation focus on the regulatory challenges posed by ongoing social and technological transformations in key sectors such as energy\, finance and healthcare\, as well as the challenges of (finding new ways of) regulating competition and intellectual property rights in an increasingly digitalized world. \n\n

SUMMARY:Platform Architecture Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Platform power comes in many shapes\, which allow for different categorizations. One helpful categorization is based on the subjects of platform power. It distinguishes platform power over markets\, over individuals\, and over society. Platforms can abuse this power. A common way of doing so is through ‘choice architecture’\, i.e.\, the way in which a platform designs its digital environment to guide the choice of its users. Implementing defaults\, ordering results\, and prominent placement are common examples of choice architecture. \nArchitectural choices can be neutral or even to the benefit of users\, but they can also result in harm. A marketplace platform could\, for example\, nudge individual consumers to qualitatively inferior or over-priced products. When such nudges are systematic\, they can have market-wide consequences. They could\, for example\, distort competition between sellers. This becomes more likely when a platform has a financial interest in promoting certain products or services over others (e.g.\, because they are affiliated to the platform). And when choice architecture influences the opinions of individuals\, e.g.\, by hiding or removing content\, society at large is affected. \nDifferent legal instruments target platform power\, and in particular choice architecture. Competition law and the Digital Markets Act focus on markets\, consumer and data protection laws are more concerned with individuals\, and the Digital Services Act and AI Act consider societal risks. Certain obligations\, e.g.\, those aimed at transparency\, are found in multiple instruments. Questions arise with regard to the regulatory fit (are there overlaps or gaps?) and effectiveness (does transparency work given the bounded rationality of individuals?). \nOur event explores the different forms of platform power through the lens of choice architecture. The aim is not only to connect different branches of law\, but also to learn from other disciplines such as ethics\, computer science\, and economics. Invitees include academics and selected representatives from industry\, regulators and non-governmental organizations. The event takes the form of an interactive roundtable. To kickstart discussion\, invited speakers give short opening remarks (around five minutes each). Everyone can then join into a lightly moderated debate. Discussion is structured within four panels. \nThere are a few seats left for those interested to participate. If you would like to attend\, please contact Friso (f.bostoen@tilburguniversity.edu) or Inge (i.graef@tilburguniversity.edu). \nNote that this is an in-person event\, online participation is not possible. \nVenue \nRoom RTZ 102 in the building Reitse Toren\nProfessor Cobbenhagenlaan 109\, 5037 DB Tilburg\nSee a map here\nThe venue is a 5 minute walk from the Tilburg University train station. \n  \nProgram – Thursday 25 January 2024 \n9.30–9.45 Opening \n9.45–11.00 Panel 1: an interdisciplinary introduction to choice architecture – moderated by Giorgio Monti\, Tilburg University \n▪ Gunes Acar\, Radboud University Nijmegen\n▪ Bart Engelen\, Tilburg University\n▪ Ben Schroeter\, Booking.com\n▪ Shiva Shekhar\, Tilburg University \n11.00–11.15 Coffee break \n11.15–12.30 Panel 2: choice architecture and individuals – moderated by Friso Bostoen\, Tilburg University \n▪ Silvia de Conca\, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\n▪ Raphaël Gellert\, Radboud University Nijmegen\n▪ Catalina Goanta\, Utrecht University\n▪ Anne-Jel Hoelen\, Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets \n12.30–14.00 Lunch at Esplanade (a 10 minute walk from the venue) \n14.00–15.15 Panel 3: choice architecture and markets – moderated by Jasper van den Boom\, Tilburg University \n▪ Alessia D’Amico\, Utrecht University\n▪ Victoria Daskalova\, Utrecht University\n▪ Inge Graef\, Tilburg University\n▪ Claudio Lombardi\, University of Aberdeen \n15.15–15.30 Coffee break \n15.30–16.45 Panel 4: choice architecture and society – moderated by Inge Graef\, Tilburg University \n▪ Quirine van Eeden/Mariëtte van Huijstee\, Rathenau Instituut\n▪ Joris van Hoboken\, University of Amsterdam\n▪ Maria Luisa Stasi\, ARTICLE19\n▪ Cristiana Teixeira Santos\, Utrecht University \n16.45–18.00 Closing and drinks \nConvenors: Friso Bostoen & Inge Graef\, Tilburg University

SUMMARY:CALL FOR PAPERS for the VII International Conference "Social Boundaries of Work. Critical Labour Studies in the Times of a Polycrisis"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of the Sociology of Work and Economic Sociology at the Institute of Sociology of the University of Wrocław\, the Sociology of Work Section of the Polish Sociological Association\, the Wrocław branch of the Polish Sociological Association\, the Critical Labour Studies Network and the Research Committee 44 “Labour Movements” of the International Sociological Association invite you to participate in the international conference entitled “Social Boundaries of Work. Critical Labour Studies in the Times of a Polycrisis“\, to be held in Wrocław on 16-18 October 2024. The deadline for abstracts submission is March 1\, 2024. \nThe conference is dedicated to analysing the relationship between academia and the world of work in the context of overlapping and reinforcing socio-economic crises. The COVID-19 pandemic was not only a profound crisis of public health\, but also of public services and the social security systems which have been under pressure for years from neoliberal reforms. The escalation of armed conflicts in Europe as a result of Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine only exacerbated the refugee movements that had been underway for years. The post-pandemic reality is also marked by a cost-of-living crisis that has deepened existing social inequalities and the impoverishment of many groups of workers. \nIn this conference\, they want to look at the interplay of between the worlds of academia and labour under the conditions of the polycrisis outlined above. Applications from both academics and social practitioners representing trade unions\, labour movements but also employers’ organisations are encouraged. Those representing the labour journalism circles community are also welcome to participate. \nDeadlines and practical information\n\nUntil 1st of March 2024  – abstracts submissions via the conference form (please include: name and affiliations of referees\, affiliations\, email\, title of paper\, abstract (250-500 words) – please use the form: https://forms.gle/ufR2YxjtLcXUQZzh8\n15 April 2024  – announcement of the list of accepted abstracts (evaluation is made by the organising committee and the conference scientific council)\n31 May 2024 – deadline for payment of the conference fee
