CFP: Digital Platforms and Digital Labor in East Asia and Beyond — Special Issue, Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia
by Dechun Zhang 10 Dec '25

10 Dec '25

Dear colleagues, The Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia (JCEA) is pleased to invite submissions for a special issue titled “Digital Platforms and Digital Labor in East Asia and Beyond.” This issue explores how platform companies have become key infrastructures of contemporary life, reorganizing economic exchange, labor relations, and everyday social interaction. With Asia as a central site of platform innovation—from Alibaba, Meituan, and Didi to Coupang, Rakuten, Grab, Gojek, Shopee and beyond—this special issue highlights how platform-mediated work emerges and is contested in diverse political, social, and cultural contexts, and how these experiences speak back to global debates on the future of work. Across the region, ride-hailing, food-delivery, e-commerce, livestreaming, influencer economies, and other platform-based industries are reshaping what it means to work, organize, and be governed. Platforms promise flexibility, entrepreneurship, and new forms of aspirational and creative labor, yet they also deepen precarity through algorithmic management, opaque data practices, and limited social protections. We therefore invite contributions that critically investigate these tensions, foreground workers’ perspectives, and situate Asian cases within comparative and global conversations on digital capitalism and labor. We welcome submissions from communication and media studies, sociology, anthropology, political economy, labor studies, law, Asian studies, and related fields. Submissions may employ qualitative, quantitative, computational, or mixed methods, and may be empirical or theoretical in nature. Potential topics include (but are not limited to): * Algorithmic management, surveillance, and labor control in platform economies * Worker agency, identity, and resistance in gig and creative labor * Regulation, law, and welfare regimes shaping platform work * Gender, class, race/ethnicity, and migration in digital labor markets * Blurred boundaries between production and consumption (prosumption, user participation, datafication) * Transnational digital labor, outsourcing, and cross-border freelancing * Emerging technologies (AI, automation, blockchain, IoT) and the future of work We particularly encourage papers that place Asian experiences in comparative or global perspective, and that extend or challenge existing theoretical frameworks in digital labor studies, platform capitalism, and critical political economy. The full CFP is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13DVKzyEVc0563TVdQUQzpR-yCDR7Yp-4/view?usp=… Submission Guidelines Please submit an abstract of up to 500 words in English and a short author bio to j.c.eastern.asia(a)gmail.com, with “JCEA Special Issue – Digital Platforms and Digital Labor” as the email subject line Key Dates * Abstract submission: 20 March 2026 * Notification of invitation to submit full paper: 1 April 2026 * Full paper submission: 30 September 2026 Further information about the journal is available at: https://jceasia.org/ We very much look forward to your abstracts and to advancing critical conversations on digital platforms and digital labor in East Asia and beyond.

Apologies for cross posting! AERI is a wonderful institute for colleagues, including early career colleagues, practitioners and doctoral students interested in archival studies. If you have any questions, please reach out off list! AERI Call for Contributions<https://arc.net/l/quote/jbatqkih> – deadline January 5, 2026 The School of Information at the University of British Columbia (UBC iSchool) is looking forward to hosting the 2026 Archival Education and Research Institute (AERI) to be held in July 20-24, 2026, in Vancouver, Canada, on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) People. These week-long institutes are designed to strengthen archival education and research and support academic cohort-building and mentoring. Institutes are open to all academic faculty/staff and students at all levels working in archival studies, as well as archival professionals and others engaged in archival education, research and scholarship, broadly conceived. AERI seeks to advance the field of archival studies by: * Creating a dynamic community of researchers, teachers, and students to help mentor doctoral students and academic faculty in areas such as dissertation/thesis preparation, grant writing, publishing, career development, and work/life balance. * Advancing curriculum development in archival studies at all levels – undergraduate, graduate/postgraduate, and continuing education. * Furthering current research development inside the academy and in practice through paper presentations, posters, and workshop activities. * Fostering interest in future collaborations, intra- and internationally. Since this is a working institute, all participants, with the exception of students who are about to commence their studies, are expected to contribute in some way to the working meeting. Contribution might be in a variety of roles, including but not limited to presenters, instructors, mentors, moderators, and AERI steering committee members. We invite proposals for contributions that fit within AERI’s goals. These could include: * short papers (15 minutes) * panels (1.5 hours, with 3 or more speakers) * workshops (half day or full day) * pedagogical * curricular * methodological * technological * mentorship/professional development * performances * posters * round tables for gathering scholars with mutual interests * unconference proposals for half- or full-day programming structured by participants As a research institute, we welcome any of the above contribution formats to focus on research at any stage (e.g. findings of recently completed projects, works in progress, etc.). There is no formal theme for AERI; as a research institute, we invite you to come talk about the work you are doing now with other archival scholars and educators. AERI is a primarily in-person event, but the Program Committee is conscious that not everyone will be able to travel in person to the conference. We do not have the funds to make the conference fully hybrid, but we may have capacity to offer a limited number of hybrid sessions. Final decisions on hybrid sessions will depend on proposals received. To submit: Please submit a 250-300 word abstract outlining your proposed contribution. Be sure to also indicate the format for your contribution (e.g. paper, panel, poster, workshop, performance, etc.), as well as 100-150 word bio(s) for all confirmed speakers.

Invitation to French stakeholder event (in French) - Invitation à la journée d’étude « Grandir à l’ère du numérique » - Paris, 17 décembre
by Anaëlle Gonzalez 10 Dec '25

10 Dec '25

Dear all, I would like to share an invitation to our Study Day/Stakeholder Event — Growing Up in the Digital Age: Five Years of European Research on Screens and Adolescent Mental Health. Please note that this event will be held in French, and is intended primarily for a French-speaking audience (researchers, practitioners, institutions, and organizations working with young people in France). Topic: How do digital media shape young people’s well-being and mental health today? Growing up in 2025 means navigating daily between smartphones, social networks, online gaming, and platforms like Spotify. While these digital practices can boost some adolescents’ self-esteem, they can also heighten anxiety for others. Understanding why these effects occur—and for whom—has never been more essential. Since 2020, researchers from KU Leuven (Belgium), the University of Tours (France), and the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) have been conducting the international MIMIc<http://www.projectmimic.eu/fr> project (coordinated by Prof. Laura Vandenbosch), funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The project examines the digital habits of more than 2,700 adolescents aged 12 to 18 in Belgium, Slovenia, and France — including over 800 in France alone. Our research focuses on two central questions: * Do young people imitate the lifestyles they see on social media and entertainment platforms, and what does this mean for their mental health? * How do their favorite influencers convey political and moral messages that may, in turn, shape adolescents’ beliefs and behaviors? As we conclude this project, we are pleased to invite you to our study day, which will take place on Wednesday, 17 December 2025, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Deskeo République – 32 Rue René Boulanger, 75010 Paris (with an option to join online, though in-person attendance is encouraged). This event aims to bring scientific findings into dialogue with educational practice and emerging regulatory frameworks, including the Digital Services Act. It will bring together researchers, institutional stakeholders, education professionals, and youth-focused organisations. Confirmed speakers include Prof. Grégoire Borst (Université Paris Descartes), Arthur Tréguier (DSA Officer for France, European Commission) and Mrs Axelle Desaint (director of Internet Sans Crainte). You will find all relevant materials attached and listed below: * Mandatory registration link: https://forms.gle/TeZNqqU4TX15mnQE8 * LinkedIn invitation: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/anaellegonzalez_dsa-jeunesetaezcrans-recherc… We look forward to sharing our findings and engaging in discussion with all stakeholders committed to supporting young people in their digital lives. We would also be grateful if you could circulate this invitation within your networks and institutions to encourage broad participation. Kind regards, Dr. Anaëlle Gonzalez Postdoctoral researcher at the Media Psychology Lab<https://research.kuleuven.be/portal/en/unit/50019224>, Department of Communication Science KU Leuven | Parkstraat 45 | 3000 Leuven | Belgium anaelle.gonzalez(a)kuleuven.be<mailto:anaelle.gonzalez@kuleuven.be>
