SUMMARY:Resistance and Food Delivery Platforms in the Global South: Latin American and Caribbean migrant workers using social media as a tool of resistance
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Macarena Bonhomme, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universidad Autónoma de Chile, and GLRC Faculty Associate.\n \nDescription: Macarena Bonhomme has publications on South-South migration, focusing on racism, racialisation, race and ethnicity, whiteness, conviviality, citizenship, platform work and migrants’ forms of resistance.  In this presentation she will examine the labour experiences and racism that Latin American and Caribbean migrants face while working in food delivery platforms in Chile. She also explores the ways in which migrants resist both precarious labor conditions and racism through social media. Using social media and building virtual communities have been key for political action and solidarity amid an unequal and racialized society that is increasingly excluding them from citizenship.\n \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Global Labour Research Centre (GLRC), the Department of Sociology, the Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC), and the Resource Centre for Public Sociology (RCPS).\n \nLight refreshments will be provided.\nOptional: Please, click here ( https://forms.gle/6yzui4oHcfdWqwHe8 ) to register for this event (this will help us plan for refreshments).\n \n\n
