The "sharing economy," also known as the "gig" or "on-demand" economy, is transforming the way people work, eat, commute, and travel by seamlessly connecting suppliers and consumers via app-based technology platforms. It provides flexible income-earning opportunities for one side and convenience and low prices for the other. However, it also creates a dizzying array of policy problems for communities of all sizes--from tax evasion and pollution to price discrimination, worker precarity, and violent protests.
The Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality (IJLSE), in collaboration with Indiana University's Kelley School of Business and the Ostrom Workshop, is hosting a symposium from February 13th at the Maurer School of Law to offer and debate solutions to these complex and fast-moving set of challenges.
Designed to stimulate interdisciplinary research and collaboration, as well as amplify existing research, Social Equality in the "Sharing Economy?" Symposium will consist of a series of keynotes, panel discussions, and paper presentations from a range of voices.
Please specify which portions of the Symposium for which you wish to register.
CLE credits available - see session details.
