SUMMARY:Digitalisation\, Market and Society
DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers \nInternational Conference on \nDigitalisation\, Market and Society \n2 – 4 December 2025 \nOrganised by: \nIndian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali\, Punjab\, India \nBrandeis University\, Massachusetts\, USA \nThe Institute for New Economic Thinking and Its Young Scholars Initiative (INET-YSI) \n Hosted by \nIndian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali\, Punjab\, India \nThe effect of digitalisation in our everyday life is transforming the world of work\, employment relations\, labour markets\, social institutions\, and gender norms. The fourth industrial revolution\, with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI)\, automation\, and data-driven technologies\, is reshaping industries\, altering economic and social organisations of the labour market\, and influencing socio-economic inequalities. At this juncture\, we aim to critically reflect on how society and the economy are interplaying together in response to everyday digital effects on the lives of the commons\, particularly consumers\, workers\, and producers\, and understand collective efforts to address this socio-economic\, demographic\, and political structural transformation. \nThe conference is organised by IISER Mohali in collaboration with Brandeis University\, Massachusetts\, USA and The Institute for New Economic Thinking and Its Young Scholars Initiative (INET-YSI)\, with funding from SPARC\, Ministry of Education\, Government of India. The conference intends to bring together academicians\, young scholars working on these issues\, policymakers\, and experts from different organisations to explore how digitalisation reshapes work and society\, examining key themes such as economic shifts\, evolving social relations\, gender dynamics\, and cultural transformations. The conference aims to generate policy-oriented insights for an inclusive future by fostering dialogue across disciplines. \nKey Themes: \n\nEmerging market structures in the platform economy\nNetwork effects\, algorithms and optimisation of invisible structures in platform economy\nThe production of space in platform economies\nDigitalisation of gendered work\nPolicy and institutional challenges in the emerging gig economies.\nCommodification and decommodification in digital economies.\nEveryday human-digital interactions and their challenges to agency.\nIdentity and social relations in the digital age\nData privacy and ethical concerns in everyday life and work\n\nIMPORTANT DATES \n\nDeadline for Extended Abstract (2000 words):                 September 20\, 2025 (Extended Deadline)\nNotification for Abstract Acceptance:                                    September 25\, 2025\nSubmission of Full Paper:                                                          November 15\, 2025\n\nSUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS \nThe organising committee invites postgraduate students\, PhD scholars and Early Career Researchers (within 7 years of their Ph.D.)/Faculty/Independent Researchers to submit extended abstracts based on their original research. \n\nThe extended abstract should between 1800-2000 words and should cover key research questions\, research gap\, methodology\, and key findings.\nThe key theme mentioned above for which the paper shall closely fit should be indicated in the abstract.\nIndividuals may present only one paper at the conference.
