Struggling With the Black Box
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has opened up new possibilities for qualitative research. However, in methodological development, GenAI is often treated as a passive tool rather than as an active actant. This article contributes to the emerging field of GenAI in qualitative research by introducing a structured actor-network theory-driven mapping-as-method protocol designed to systematically identify the sociotechnical …
Constructive discussion
Increased polarisation and unwillingness to engage with difference create obstacles to addressing complex societal challenges. This can be observed across numerous countries in relation to controversial issues such as climate change, immigration, inequality, housing affordability and racial justice. In this article, we explore the potential for ‘constructive discussion’ to help address these societal challenges. Constructive discussion emphasises…
Mapping AI’s role in NSW governance
This paper examines the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in New South Wales (NSW) Government processes through a socio-technical lens using Actor-Network Theory. Rather than viewing GenAI as a passive tool, the study conceptualizes these systems as active actants that reshape governance networks, redistribute authority, and reconfigure democratic accountability mechanisms. Through document analysis, actor-network mapping,…
Informal governance from below
This study examines the intersection of digital labour platforms and informal governance in Bogotá, Colombia, with a focus on the adaptive strategies employed by ride-hailing drivers within contexts of institutional fragility and urban inequality. Employing digital ethnography and visual methods, the research analyses the emergence of Drivers Club Bogotá, a grassroots network utilising technologies such as WhatsApp and Zello for coordination, mut…
Crafting Futures
Microspheres of self-governance
This paper delves into the emergence of alternative governance models in Bogotá, Colombia, enabled by platform technology amid state inefficiencies magnified by poorly managed COVID-19 lockdowns. The argument on how these microspheres of alternative self-governance emerged draws on a digital ethnography study of ride-hailing platform drivers in Bogotá who operate within the city's informal economy due to the local lack of regulations. Predominant…
Mobility as a service, platform uses and social innovation
Platforms are becoming integral elements of urban transport systems, and more recently, platform technology has dominated the debate in implementing Mobility as a Service (MaaS) structures. However, for all the arguments on the impact of platforms on the future of work, and the deterministic technological nature of MaaS discourse, little attention is paid to social engagement and how people use these technologies. This research focuses on how ent…
Reimagining the Future of the Sydney CBD
Covid-19 has led to unprecedented changes in functional structures in our cities. Since the mid-20th century, central business districts (CBDs) worldwide have hosted economic and employment activities, leaving suburbia to home the residential function. However, the global Covid-19 responses have resulted in changes in some urban functions, and it is yet to see if these changes would transpire as temporary or permanent. Some argue that the broad m…
Emergent Transportation “Platforms” in Latin America
New models of peer governance are emerging from online communities in the Global South. This is visible in an understudied case of ridesharing “platforms” created on social media communities and materializing in Latin American cities. In this article, I investigate these online communities in different cities of Colombia and how they develop peer governance models. A particular focus is paid to developing organization forms that do not follow the…
