New article on digital labour on Chinese UGC platforms
Our PhD researcher and Senior Graduate Teaching Assistant Pengyun Lu has published a new open access article drawing from his research into digital labour on Chinese platforms.
Published in the European Journal of Cultural Studies, "Between ‘audience lords’ and ‘rich fathers’: Triadic relational labour and contingent moral improvisation among Chinese tech creators on UGC platforms" examines the experience of creative workers navigating the competing demands of platforms, audiences and advertisers in making a meaningful and sustainable living.
