Still touring with my exhibition on platform food couriers. Next stop: Grenoble. Starts tomorrow @ugrenoblealpes. CC @MaCI_UGA bibliotheques.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/actualites/act…

I tried very hard to become famous in Europe, without much success though. Everything will change now that my work has finally been published by an influential Chinese news outlet, The Paper, which has an average of 8,6 M daily readers. thepaper.cn/newsDetail_for…

More details about the project at gigwork.city

Last gig work exhibition of the year, at Maison de la Création et l'Innovation (University Grenoble Alpes). On display this week and early next year as a teaser for the much bigger exhibition I will organise at the Bibliothèque universitaire Droit et Lettres (details to come).

With a glowing review! Thank you, @DrRJRead!

I'll talk as well about the challenges of working with precarious and vulnerable racialised platform workers, the methodological approaches I developed to mitigate them and the moral and ethical conundrums arising throughout the fieldwork.

Today I'll discuss the award winning paper I wrote for @TheSocReview with @jamie_woodcock and @Don_David "Cards against gamification: Using a role-playing game to tell alternative futures in the gig economy". journals-sagepub-com.mmu.idm.oclc.org/doi/10.1177/00…

Two years and a half after moving to Lyon, I am slowly infiltrating the bastion of French academia. Here's a peak into my first article in French, in preparation for the journal "Écologie & Politique". To be published in Spring 2025.

Excited to have received @TheSocReview Journal Article of the Year Award for 2023. For the paper “Cards against gamification: Using a role-playing game to tell alternative futures in the gig economy”, which I wrote with @jamie_woodcock and @Don_David thesociologicalreview.org/announcements/…

Time to leave this dump behind. You can find me at @cosminpopan.bsky.social
