Online participation is differentiated and unequal along almost every dimension—in terms of who gets online and how as well as in terms of who contributes or participates in specific activities once they are there. There is also evidence of unequal outcomes linked to individual characteristics, which can be exacerbated by platform design and policies. In this session, we will explore this topic and its implications for online communities and platforms. | ||
First, Professor Hernan Galperin (University of Southern California) will discuss how participation in online communities is affected by differences in broadband access opportunities and modalities across populations. Prof. Galperin will then present findings from a series of studies that investigate the drivers of inequality in gig economy platforms in the Global South. A key theme will be how to identify and combat digital discrimination in access and outcomes. | First, Professor Hernan Galperin (University of Southern California) will discuss how participation in online communities is affected by differences in broadband access opportunities and modalities across populations.
