*Reminder* The Labor Tech Research Network <https://www.labortechresearchnetwork.org/> (LaborTech) invites submissions for our inaugural Book and Graduate Student Paper awards. *About Us* LaborTech is an interdisciplinary and transnational group of experts concerned with the intersection of technology and labor. We aim to reframe conversations about technology and labor towards issues of power, inequality, and social justice, and incorporate themes of feminism, anti-racism, and transnationalism. We also seek to foster an interdisciplinary, cross-regional, and community-oriented space for discussion, collaboration, and empowerment. For a deeper discussion of our mission, please see the 'About Us' <http://labortechresearchnetwork.org/index.php/about-us/> page on our website as well as examples of topics in our decade-long Speaker Series <http://labortechresearchnetwork.org/index.php/speaker-series/>. *Call for Nominations* As part of our launch as a nonprofit research network, LaborTech is inaugurating two awards (Book and Graduate Student Paper) to honor works which: - have distinctive intellectual merit or activist impact; - advance the knowledge about labor and technology in the global society; and - address our core focus on labor and technology and which may simultaneously address feminism, anti-racism, and/or transnationalism. Works from all disciplines and methodologies are eligible for nomination. Nominations are open to members and non-members of LaborTech. We encourage submissions from women, people of color, queer communities, and those from the global south. The deadline for submissions is August 1, 2022.
