UK, September 3-5, 2014*
Globalisation and technological change have transformed where people work,
when and how. Digitisation of information has altered labour processes out
of all recognition whilst telecommunications have enabled jobs to be
relocated globally. But ICTs have also enabled the creation of entirely new
types of ‘digital’ or ‘virtual’ labour, both paid and unpaid,  shifting the
borderline between ‘play’ and ‘work’ and creating new types of unpaid
labour connected with the consumption and co-creation of goods and
services.  The implications of this are far-reaching, both for policy and
for scholarship. The dynamics of these changes cannot be captured
adequately within the framework of any single academic discipline. On the
contrary, they can only be understood in the light of a combination of
insights from fields including political economy, the sociology of work,
organisational theory, economic geography, development studies, industrial
relations, comparative social policy, communications studies, technology
policy and gender studies

COST Action IS1202<http://visitor.benchmarkemail.com/c/l?u=32081F9&e=40EEFC&c=14F0F&t=0&l=6129DA3&email=Nlw1XM9Bwi5rAJMGRSeRh49nNPuw6lIV>brings
together an international network of leading experts from 29
European Countries with researchers from other parts of the world to
develop a multi-faceted approach to understanding these phenomena. This
international conference will open up an interactive dialogue between
scholars both inside and outside the network. Papers drawing on
theoretical, methodological or empirical research are welcomed on the
following topics:

*The new international division of labour*

   - Restructuring of value chains – theoretical perspectives
   - Relocation or Global sourcing? New patterns of spatial mobility
   - Does ‘place’ still matter, and why?
   - Interactions between the gender division of labour and the spatial
   division of labour.

*Changes in skills and occupational identities in the digital economy*

   - The creation of new occupational identities and the disintegration of
   old ones
   - Reskilling or deskilling? New forms of Taylorisation or new
   opportunities for creativity?
   - Changing patterns of working time, work-life balance and gender
   division of labour
   - New forms of organisation inside and outside the workplace

*Value creation in the Internet Age*

   - The monetisation of the Internet – theoretical and methodological
   challenges
   - Commodification and value creation in online activities
   - ‘Prosumption’, ‘co-creation’ and ‘playbour’: conceptualising the
   shifts between labour, consumption and leisure activities
   - Virtual work and immaterial production (including crowdsourcing,
   goldfarming and other forms of online work)

*Policy implications of virtual work*

   - Implications of virtual work for employment in creative industries
   - User-generated content – threat or opportunity for employment?
   - Implications of virtual work for work-life balance and equality
   - Regulation of work and industrial relations in virtual work
   environments (the global context)
   - Implications of virtual work for work-life balance and equality
   -  Effects of virtual work on occupational profiles, skills and HR
   practices

The conference will be organised in four streams, with plenary sessions on
each day.

All submissions will be subject to peer review.

Deadline for submission of extended abstracts: January 31st, 2014

Confirmation of acceptance: April 30th, 2014

Some scholarships may be available for attendees from Developing Countries.
