Introduction to special issue on scams, fakes, and frauds
In: New media & society: an international and interdisciplinary forum for the examination of the social dynamics of media and information change, Band 24, Heft 7, S. 1535-1547
ISSN: 1461-7315
Deception is a pervasive feature of the online marketplace: from phone calls by fake tech support workers at Microsoft, to fraudulent emails asking for advance fee payment, and fake postings for jobs on employment platforms. Building off interdisciplinary discussions within science and technology studies (STS), this special issue expands research on the underside, illicit, and irregular forms of digital behavior. Our focus is on how scams, fakes, and frauds are embedded in the digital economy. In particular, we look at the institutions shaping online scams, the labor involved in performing and/or navigating them, and the role of platforms in hosting them.

Reviving "Post-post-Fordism"
Blog: Crooked Timber
I had an odd intellectual experience recently. A US high school student wrote to me as part of an assignment, asking for my thoughts on Brave New World, and its current relevance. I replied talking about the role of "Our Ford", and Gramsci's contemporary concept of Fordism. That got me thinking about post-Fordism, and then […]

Filtering Diversity: A Global Corporation Struggles With Race, Class, and Gender in Employment Policy
In: American behavioral scientist: ABS, Band 52, Heft 3, S. 307-341
ISSN: 1552-3381
The spread of corporate diversity programs in the past decade has meant renewed attention to the rhetoric of fairness in employment relations. A number of organizational dynamics can derail this project, however, especially at the transnational level. In the author's case studies of a U.S. high-tech firm (AmCo) and its subsidiary in India (TransCo), this happens through a filtering process, in which managers disassemble broad themes of diversity and repackage them in more narrow and exclusive terms. In the United States, the discourse of gender is more legitimate, whereas in India, it is ethnicity/race. These discourses of diversity have both positive and negative implications. They are used by managers to divert attention from overt forms of stratification and avoid disruptions in employee relations, yet they also generate a mutual critique between the two firms that can help to overcome the filtering process and achieve a more integrated understanding of discrimination.
