platform economies don't create a brand new worker subjectivity that's distinct from older conceptualizations (homo oeconomicus). they build on existing ideas

what IS new lies in how capitalism becomes intensified. the contexts and structures change.

the platform is where capitalism explodes.

CCSN keeps coming up, and I'm sorry I missed it! Over 100 attendees is a strong attendance for a preconference, and a good indication of interest in this area 👀 #ica25

Home from #ICA25, where I’m still basking in the intellectual community emerging from @weareccsn.bsky.social’s #DebatingCreatorCulture precon. Reunited with old friends and mentors, made new ones. During times like these, I couldn’t ask for anything better. 💕✨💕 until next time!

Can’t believe that my grad student journey follows the exact trajectory of the 20th century:

began with the Fall of the Ottoman Empire (me leaving modern studies) & ended with Seinfeld on TV (me at #ICA25 #DebatingCreatorCulture talking Nothing, Forever)
Me presenting a slide at UC Boulder.
