The two main research days of the conference will happen virtually on April 3rd and April 4th, with sessions running between 1100-1700 UTC on each day. Confirmed sessions include panels on a wide range of topics, ranging from the regulation of labour platforms to content moderation in the global context.
The Platform Governance Research Network brings together researchers interested in ‘platform governance’, broadly defined. From online labor markets and locally-tethered service delivery platforms, to social networks and cloud providers, we are interested in highlighting cutting-edge conceptual and empirical work that engages with the politics and policy of the 21st century ‘platformized’ internet.
We are interdisciplinary, and welcome relevant submissions from a wide range of researchers (who need not be affiliated with academic institutions).
