SER Cafe Launches New Online Forum to Meet Recent Authors
The Society for the Advancement of Socioeconomics is proud to sponsor SER Café, a new online, real-time discussion forum where members of the audience can virtually meet and interact with the authors of one or two papers recently published in Socio-Economic Review, the association’s flagship journal co-edited by BU sociology professor Alya Guseva (pictured below). Audience members are expected to have read the articles.

The inaugural SER Café will take place on 3 June at 4pm UTC (12pm US Eastern/9am US Pacific/6pm Central European)
The Platform Economy
Please RSVP here or below if you will join
Featured Articles
- Antagonism beyond employment: how the ‘subordinated agency’ of labour platforms generates conflict in the remote gig economy with Vili Lehdonvirta (University of Oxford), co-authored by Alex Wood (University of Bristol)
- Odds stacked against workers: datafied gamification on Chinese and American food delivery platforms with Niels van Doorn (University of Amsterdam), co-authored by Julie Yujie Chen (University of Toronto)
Both articles were published in SER’s special issue on Understanding the Platform Economy.
