Digitalization and Social Transformation

The group focuses on the social, economic, and cultural impacts of platformization. It examines how digital platforms shape societal power structures, labor relations, and social practices, as well as how they influence norms, participation, and inequality. Particular attention is given to the role of platform governance, its impact on the changing conditions of identity and relationship formation, and the resulting effects on mental health.
