The Yale ISP will participate in the upcoming conference “The Internet as Playground and Factory: a Conference on Digital Labor” scheduled for November 12-14 at Eugene Lang College, the New School in New York City. The Information Society Project is one of the co-presenters of the conference and eight ISP fellows will be speaking or moderating at the conference.
As the conference description states, “We are arguably in the midst of massive transformations in economy, labor, and life related to digital media. The purpose of this conference is to interrogate these dramatic shifts restructuring leisure, consumption, and production since the mid-century.”

Laura Forlano will speak Saturday at 1:45 p.m. on Writing for the Algorithm: Digital Labor and Mobile Work. James Grimmelman will speak Friday at 6:00 p.m. on Ethical Visions of Copyright Law.
