These sessions feature research on global digital cultures from a wide variety of scholarly disciplines, theoretical perspectives, and methodological approaches. During each of these events, we will discuss two draft texts, seeking to include a mix of senior and junior scholars.

For our upcoming GDC Seminar on December 13, from 15:00 - 17:00 in the Universitiet Bibliotheek Belle van Zuylen hall we will discuss works in progress by Lorena Caminhas and Rébecca Franco.

Lorena Caminhas is a Postdoc at the Anthropology Department of the University of São Paolo. She is currently a visiting researcher at the University of Amsterdam. Her paper is titled The Changing Landscape of Sex Labor in the Digital Age.

Rébecca Franco is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam, looking at online sex work. She has a PhD from The Vrije Universiteit in migration studies and the racialized regulation of intimacy. Her paper is titled "This is Fucking Nuts": Payment Regulation and the Structuring of Profitability and Dependency in Platformized Sex Work.
