We welcome contributions addressing themes such as:
Precarity, algorithmic control and labour fragmentation
Migration, borders and racial capitalism
Feminisation and social reproduction
Resistance, solidarity and mobilisation
Urban transformations and inequalities
Methods and cartographies of platformisation
