Seeing Forest for the Trees: Visualising Platformization and its Governance
09 februari 2022 13:00 t/m 14:00 | Zet in mijn agenda
On February 9th, José van Dijck will give a seminar at the TPM AI lab. In this seminar, José van Dijck will present her work on the platformization of society that resulted in the book The Platform Society written with Thomas Poell and Martijn de Waal.
Furthermore, the talk will focus on the latest steps in her research. José van Dijck will discuss the tree metaphor that she uses to broaden the perspective on platforms. The tree metaphor helps in analysing the dynamics that platformization brings and how the governance of platforms should be changed.
José van Dijck has been Professor of Media and Digital Society at Utrecht University since 2017 and is a pioneer in media and platform studies. Before, José was the first female president of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). Last year she received the Spinoza Prize (Spinozapremie), the most prestigious award in Dutch academia. José is involved in the focus area Governing the Digital Society of Utrecht University.
We hope to see you on the 9th of February. The seminar will take place between 13:00 and 14:00.
