Listen "Digital Platform Economies: Concept Work for “Platform Economies”"

Episode Synopsis

This panel conversation was part of a recent event hosted by the Platform Economies Research Network (PERN), in collaboration with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society. 

The event titled 'Digital Platform Economies: Value from data?' was held at the New School in New York City on 24-26 April 2024. 

The session examines how core concepts, such as commodity, capital, labor, rent, data, and information, operate with reference to specific platform contexts. Each panelist will present a brief case study from their research to outline general questions relating to relevant concepts. The aim is to consider how each case either challenges or confirms conventional understandings of particular concepts and to stimulate general discussion of theoretical challenges and research methods.

Featured in this conversation is Na Fu (PERN), Koray Çalışkan (PERN), Franziska Cooiman (PERN), Silvia Lindtner (PERN), Janet Roitman (ADM+S/PERN), and moderated by Emma Park (PERN).
