Excited to be back in Berlin at the Digital Labor Conferece! Lots of great presentations lined up. My talk homes-in on the theory of digital labor. I argue that we need to broaden the concept to study the relations between gig workers and tech workers @JWI_Berlin @INDL_Official

On my way to the very north of Germany for a conference on subjectivation studies. I will contribute a talk on post-entrepreneurial forms of subjectivity in the digital economy
