Abstract

Inspired by the “labour for good” roundtable at the 10th STS Italia Conference, this Crossing Boundaries section brings together leading scholars on the relationship between technology and labour, with a focus on the role of digital platforms in shaping the negotiation dynamics, the forms of resistance, and even the very redefinition of labour and work practices, beside the power relationship between platforms and workers. This section aims also to provide a forum for STS to engage with and open up to kindred currents and fields of research such as labour studies, political economy and cultural studies, thereby fostering a cross-fertilization of frameworks and empirical results to better understand what and how we, as scholars and researchers, can mobilize STS for the “good” of workers and labour institutions, within but especially beyond the thresholds of academia.
