The International Digital Labor Network (INDL) is pleased to announce its seventh congress, which will be held for the first time in Latin America, in Santiago, Chile, October 28-30, 2024. The theme of INDL-7 "Digital Labor and Power Dynamics: Present and Future of Work Scenarios” aims to explore the different patterns and dynamics of power (domination, resistance, agency) that affect the conditions, experiences and rights of people engaged in different forms of digital labor.

Please download, and feel free to share, the call for abstracts (now closed).

We look forward to receiving innovative proposals that will enrich the North-South dialogue on digital labor and power dynamics.
