Interventions from the Global South

This episode features Professor Cheryll Ruth Soriano in conversation with Professor Mohan Dutta. Professor Soriano discusses her research on Filipino platform workers, expanding on linkages between migrant workers and the rise of entrepreneurial solidarity amongst digital workers. They further discuss the implications of the Philippines' past as a colonial subject and the country’s present as a site of political, particularly anti-neoliberal, activism.
