Online Book Talk, Against Tech Oligarchy, with JS Tan, Sep 8
by Rafael Do Nascimento Grohmann 19 Aug '26

19 Aug '26

Hey AoIR, The DigiLabour Research Lab at the University of Toronto invites you to another online book talk, the first of the 2026–27 season! On September 8, 10am EDT, we will host JS Tan, who will talk about the book Against Tech Oligarchy: Worker Resistance in the World’s Most Powerful Industry, co-authored with Clarissa Redwine. After the talk, we'll hear from the discussants Tatiana Dias (CTRL+Z), Simone Robutti (Tech Workers Coalition), and Guilherme Guilherme (DigiLabour & Federal University of Sao Paulo). The link is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGNCMcyek7k Book description As tech bosses fall in line with the right, tech workers are fighting back. This is the rousing inside story of their movement—and the way it spawned an anti-worker backlash now reshaping the industry. After Donald Trump’s election in 2016, the tech industry sprang into action to oppose his right-wing agenda, with workers and CEOs alike joining mass mobilizations against the new president’s anti-immigrant policies. But it wasn’t long before the tech bosses started to fall in line with the new administration. In response, tens of thousands of tech workers protested against their own employers for betraying the progressive values that once defined the industry—including organizing against military contracts, walking out to protest sexism, and even launching a wave of union drives. By the early 2020s, these workers had sparked what observers were calling the tech worker movement, one that seemed capable of checking the industry’s reckless growth and reactionary drift. But as their struggle grew, so did the employers’ backlash. A new class consciousness took root among tech's billionaire owners. Hell-bent on stamping out any and all dissent, tech executives embraced Trumpism, fired organizers, and began lashing out against the “woke” ideology they blamed for turning their once loyal employees against them—and replacing the good tech jobs of the 2010s with incessant layoffs, grind culture, and a management style that treats workers as disposable. Against Tech Oligarchy provides a gripping account of this inspiring workers' movement and the rise of the hostile labor politics that define Silicon Valley today. See you there! best, Rafael -- dr.

University of Melbourne Platform Journal Call for Papers
by Symon Braun Freck 17 Aug '26

17 Aug '26

Call for Papers: Platform Journal of Media and Communication Special Issue: In Media We Trust Concerns about trust in media are not new. Scholars have long examined how trust in news and media institutions intersects with democracy, public knowledge, political identity, credibility, and social cohesion. Yet the current technological environment demands renewed attention. The rapid development of “smart” and ubiquitous technologies, the platforming of everyday life, and the growing presence of AI across media systems have intensified questions about what, whom, and how we trust. This special issue of Platform explores how individuals, institutions, and communities navigate contemporary information environments and digital systems. Drawing on the language of faith, In Media We Trust asks how new media networks organise belief, authority, repetition, allegiance, and doubt, and how questions of media literacy, contested sources, myths and rumours, factual accuracy, and unequal access to information shape our attachments to media, truth, and technology. Platform is a peer-reviewed journal for Graduate Researchers and Early Career Researchers globally. Abstract submissions due: 11:59pm (AEST), Tuesday, 15 September 2026 Full paper submissions due: 11:59pm (AEDT), Monday, 1 February 2027 Abstracts should not exceed 350 words and must be accompanied by a brief biographical note for each author. All abstracts should be submitted via email to platformjmc(a)gmail.com<mailto:platformjmc@gmail.com> See full CFP here: https://platformjmc.com/call-for-papers/ Thank you for your consideration, Symon Braun Freck

CFM--Play, Games, and Sociality--Final Cal
by Sarina Chen 15 Aug '26

15 Aug '26

*Call for Manuscripts: Studies in Symbolic Interaction, Vol. 67* *Volume Title: Play, Sames, and Sociality* G.H. Mead discussed his well-known versions of play and the game in the context of development, as necessary activities regarding the pragmatic and empathic orientations of the self to others. However, his notion of sociality, which delves into the temporal connection between past, present, and future, is connected to the importance of emergence and novelty. Implicitly, Mead's notion of sociality accentuates the importance of play and games as processes that "break on through" the present, creating serendipitous futures and transforming stale versions of the past. Others, notably Johan Huizinga, Gregory Bateson, and Jean Piaget further emphasized that such a breakthrough demonstrates the ability of people engaging in play (or turning play into novel games) to simultaneously create fanciful presents, maintain nascent order, invite novel consequences, and suspend anticipation of routine outcomes. In effect, play and games are neither confined to a linear development of role-taking abilities nor events that occur apart from the everyday experiential realities that make up our life courses. Rather, play and games not only become useful activities that contribute to self-awareness and awareness of others, but also serve as foundational activities connected to shared pasts, shared futures, and varieties of shared foci. Volume 67 of *Studies in Symbolic Interaction*, edited by Michael Katovich, invites manuscripts that explore how human interaction is initiated, maintained, and transformed through playful dynamics. By linking classical foundations with contemporary digital and physical playgrounds, this volume aims to map the evolving landscapes of modern sociality. Several interactionists and scholars using an interactionist perspective have already contributed to our understanding of play and gaming as, to name a few foci, a process of socialization, a free formed disruption of mundane labor, a unique locale for shared meanings and storytelling, a link to virtual worlds that impact definitions of the self, and especially, the self in relation to others, and a way to reframe everyday identities and function as a metaphorical mirror for self-reflection. In light of the aforementioned foci, we invite submissions that build upon the following insights contributing to our understanding of play, games, and sociality. Some potential examples would include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Play and games as cooperatively governed and separate from everyday lived experience Play as safely disruptive and potentially constructive Play and games as localized systems of shared storytelling The professionalization of play Play and games linked to contemporary technology and various ways of experiencing selves Play as created by and through identification with subcultural games and experiences Playful foundations of the self Play and games as linked to socialization For all interested, please send an abstract of no more than 750 words to Shing-Ling Sarina Chen (sarina.chen(a)uni.edu) by* September 1, 2026.* If an abstract is selected for inclusion, the deadline of completing the manuscript is May 1, 2027. *Studies in Symbolic Interaction* is a peer-reviewed bi-annual global book series published by Wiley Publishing. Thank you very much for your consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you. Shing-Ling Sarina Chen *Studies in Symbolic Interaction*

[AoIR HQ] Time correction: Ethics roundtable now 16:00–17:30 UTC (Friday 21 August)
by Association Coordinator 14 Aug '26

14 Aug '26

Dear AoIR Community, A correction to my earlier note about the third roundtable in our lecture series, Ethics in Internet Research. The session still takes place next Friday, 21 August 2026, but the time is now 16:00 to 17:30 UTC. The registration details on our website have been updated to match. --- As a reminder, we'll be bringing together four long-standing AoIR members, Charles Ess, Anja Bechmann, Alice Marwick, and Michael Zimmer, for a conversation on how ethics has developed within AoIR and the field it has shaped. The session takes up one question. What has ethics meant for AoIR as the internet itself has changed? Our panelists will answer it through a review of the association's first guidelines in 2002 to the 2019 publication of Internet Research: Ethical Guidelines 3.0, which extended earlier frameworks to the ethical stakes of big data, AI, and the research lifecycle as a whole, including the protection of researchers themselves. Over the hour, the panelists will discuss how each iteration of the guidelines answered shifting technologies, platforms, and research practices, and what it takes to conduct ethical research in this field. The format is a 45-minute lecture followed by 45 minutes of Q&A and discussion with the audience. Register here: https://members.aoir.org/event-6758492 (member login is required). The Zoom link will be provided upon registration, so be sure to RSVP if you haven't already. As a reminder, participation in our legacy talk series is open to members only. If you are reading this as part of our broader community and are not yet a member, you can learn more about joining at members.aoir.org. Membership also carries the rest of what AoIR offers throughout the year, from the annual conference to our newsletter 'AoIRWaves' and the wider set of talks and resources. We hope to see many of you there, and we welcome you to pass this along to colleagues and students who might want to attend. Best, Emerson (she/her) AoIR Communications and Membership Coordinator ac(a)aoir.org<mailto:ac@aoir.org> Looking for Michelle? After nine years, Michelle has officially stepped down from her position at AOIR. I'm Emerson, and I'll be stepping in to continue her work. As I'm sure anyone familiar with Michelle knows, I have big shoes to fill, and I appreciate your patience as I get up to speed!

Algorithmic Resurrections and Haunted Infrastructures
by Soma Basu (TAU) 14 Aug '26

14 Aug '26

TUNI Luottamuksellinen - Confidential (3Y) Dear colleagues, Very excited to share my recent chapter, “Networked Afterlives: Necropolitical Algorithms and Rumours as Acts of Resurrection,” published in The Digital Life of Grief: Online Mourning in the Age of Hashtags, Algorithms, and Social Media, edited by Katrin Gerber, Larissa Hjorth, and Crystal Abidin. Drawing on sensory ethnography of the 2020 Delhi pogrom, the chapter develops networked afterlife to theorise how violent deaths continue to act politically through the circulation and misattribution of images, rumours, and digital traces. It conceptualises rumour as an anticipatory form of this afterlife and algorithmic resurrection as the mechanism through which past violence is repeatedly reactivated within necropolitical infrastructures, keeping some deaths politically active and usable across time. The chapter is open access: https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003712169-12 I would also like to share an article I published earlier, “Phantoms of the Drains: Imaginations of Conflict in Everyday Infrastructures,” in Contemporary South Asia. Here, I trace the afterlife of the 2020 Delhi pogrom through an unlikely ethnographic object, the city’s neglected nullahs (municipal wastewater drains). I follow the drains' opacity, chemical thickness, movement, and capacity to conceal and erase, making them sites of speculation, where rumours of unrecovered bodies, partial memories, silences, and mistrust of the state give uncertainty a durable social life. Through sensory ethnography, I examine how this uncertainty enters the body and everyday movement through quickened crossings, hesitation, avoidance, smell, atmosphere, and unease, while WhatsApp images and rumours continually move the haunting between screen and street. I develop the concept of the “trauma trove” to describe how ordinary infrastructure can sediment unresolved violence through the entanglement of materiality, caste and state abandonment, embodied memory, speculation, and digital circulation. Open access article’s link: https://doi.org/10.1080/09584935.2026.2649745 Both pieces emerge from the same broader ethnographic engagement with the afterlives of communal violence, while approaching those afterlives through different material and mediated forms. I would love your feedback and thoughts on these pieces. This new book, The Digital Life of Grief: Online Mourning in the Age of Hashtags, Algorithms, and Social Media, edited by Katrin Gerber, Larissa Hjorth, and Crystal Abidin, is a particularly timely and wide-ranging collection that brings together compelling work on how grief, mourning, and the politics of loss are being transformed by algorithms, hashtags, platform economies, digital memorial practices, and emerging cultures of online remembrance. (https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003712169) Best wishes, Soma (Connect with me on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/<https://bsky.app/profile/somabasu.com><https://bsky.app/profile/somabasu.com>somabasu.com<https://bsky.app/profile/somabasu.com>) -- Soma Basu, https://somabasu.com/ Doctoral Researcher, Tampere University Research Centre for Communication Sciences (TARU), Finland.
