Hello! I am sharing a CfP that I think will be of interest to this research community :) Apologies if you run into this cross-posted elsewhere. We are sharing a CfP for a workshop: "Ethical Tensions, Norms, and
Directions in the Extraction of Online Volunteer Work", to be held Nov 13 during CSCW 2022 (virtual this year).
This one-day workshop, broken up into two sessions to accommodate international participation, will convene to reflect on and interrogate the relationship between online volunteer work and the industries that rely on and profit from them. Online volunteer work such as moderating forums and participating in open source projects not only underpins today’s digital infrastructures, but also helps companies generate immense profits. However, there remains a lack of ethical norms around using volunteer labor for corporate interests, opening opportunities for unchecked extraction of online volunteer work at scale. Through a series of talks, a panel, and small group discussions, this workshop makes a call for increased attention to ethical issues in the extraction of online volunteer work.
We invite individuals interested in presenting their work to submit a 2-4 page extended abstract by Sept 21, 2022 to: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=eeovw22
Accepted abstracts will be guaranteed a presentation slot. For individuals interested in attending without presenting, we will later have an application form (capped at 50 people) on our website so stay tuned!
