Associate Professor Brooke Duffy participated in a panel at the Association of Internet Researchers annual conference. Brooke presented her research on the creator economy as part of a panel on "Visibility Economies: Platform Labor across Cultures, Communities, and Contexts." Drawing on distinctive case studies across cultures and platforms, the panel considered how visibility is defined, by whom, and to what ends for various social actors in the platform economy.
