Platform Labor and Health Special Issue Guest editors: Rafael Grohmann (Unisinos University, Brazil), Noopur Raval (New York University, United States), and Kruskaya Hidalgo Cordero (Platform Observatory, Equador) The platformization of labor not only jeopardizes labor rights and tax regularization mechanisms, but also generates serious effects on the health of people working in these economies. In some cases, as in on-demand delivery work, even human losses are reported on a daily basis. Content moderators and microworkers have many mental health issues. For example, in 2020, Facebook had to pay $52 million to its moderators who developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Thus, it is urgent to analyze health and welfare on digital platforms, both in relation to current conditions and to prefigure what futures we want in relation to health in the platform labor. This thematic dossier aims to compile studies on the intersection between health and platform labor, recognizing the importance of this debate. We accept articles in English, Spanish and Portuguese. We are especially interested in submissions that shed light across these themes: • Health of platform workers across the sectors; • Safety and health of platform labor in the streets: drivers, riders, shoppers; • Working from home: remote work, microwork, and reproductive labor; • Domestic work and beauty sector; • Intersection of gender, race, caste, class, age, sexuality or other dynamics in impacting health conditions of platform workers; • Decolonial perspectives on platform labor and health; • Beyond "invisible" and "hiddens" perspectives on platform labor and health; • Chronic illness, disabilities and platform capitalismo; • Mental health, right to disconnection and platform labor; • Mental health and plataform capitalismo; • Platformization of health workers and medical care workers; • Technologies and metrics of health surveillance and monitoring on platforms during covid-19; • Biopolitics and platform capitalism before and during the pandemic; • Organizational, moral and sexual harassment working on digital platforms; • Fair work on digital platforms and the role of health; • Health of platform workers and public policies; • Data justice movements and well being concerns of platform workers Submission deadline: June 30th, 2022.
