[Rafael Do Nascimento Grohmann]

Hi AoIR!

I'm delighted to announce a series of online events on Digital Labor and Intersectionality, in September and October. They will focus on different theoretical frameworks such as intersectionality, racial capitalism and social reproduction and topics such as queer and trans-owned technologies and digital sovereignty.

These online roundtables are led by Platform Work Inclusion Living Lab<https://pwill.eu> (P-WILL) project, in partnership with DigiLabour<https://digilabour.com.br>, Worker-Owned Intersectional Platforms (WOIP)<https://digilabour.com.br/worker-owned-intersectional-platforms-woip/> project and Queer and Trans Research Lab,<http://sds.utoronto.ca/qtrl-cohort-2024-25/> University of Toronto.

The first event will take place on Zoom, with live English-Portuguese translation. The other two will take place directly on the DigiLabour YouTube Channel.<https://youtube.com/digilabour>
