Spatio-temporal dynamics of platform labour: short-term rental cleaning labour intermediaries and student-migrant-workers Although short-term rental platforms (e.g. Airbnb) are often not considered labour platforms, their suppliers must contend with demands on labour structured by the platforms. Using Lefebvre’s rhyth...

Og Kiley Goyette (PhD studerende ved Toronto Universitet) skriver helt specifikt om organiseret rengøring af Airbnbs -- dog i Montreal. Men igen, igen frames det som en overraskelse i medierne, at netop dette sker -- også i København www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... (2/2)

»Det burde jo alene få alarmklokkerne til at ringe«: Hundredvis af værter udlejer mere end 10 boliger på Airbnb I 2018 indgik regeringen en aftale med ferieboligplatformen Airbnb. Men aftalen indeholdt ikke en indberetning af udlejningsdage. Derfor er det stadig nemt at snyde, når man udlejer sin private bolig.

Awesome article, Julian. Looking forward to read it :)

The image is a preprint cover for an article titled "Remote Robotics, or the Digital Re-Embodiment of Labour." It is co-authored by James Steinhoff (University College Dublin), Julian Posada (Yale University), and Alessandro Delfanti (University of Toronto).The article, accepted for publication in Work Organisation, Labour & Globalisation, explores how remote-operated robots in logistics still require human control, a process termed “re-embodiment.” It argues that this extends the reach of capital and reinforces labor exploitation.Keywords: automation, robotics, telepresence, logistics, embodiment.

Sådan Sigurd. Jeg glæder mig til at læse din afhandling, når den er færdig

Now, I have moved into the field of video gaming where I'm researching the lives of people who earn money on playing with others online. My interest in this is particularly how the gaming industry and the gig economy intersects and the challenges and opportunities it creates for workers. 4/4

For the last three years, I have researched how the gig economy intersects with transnational migration. Some of this work that I have done together with Associate Professor Marlene Spanger from Aalborg University, Copenhagen was published in Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies. 2/

Lots of new followers. Cool. Welcome! What do I do? I'm a Postdoc Fellow at Department of Human Geography at Uppsala University funded by Carlsberg Foundation. I'm particularly interested in labour and migration. 1/

Add! :-)

I’m in this with my good friend Anders and tons of other great people. It’s awesome. Check it out.
