Dear colleagues

 

The Sociological Review is thrilled to be launching the first of their 2018 monographs, Unboxing the Sharing Economy, edited by Davide Arcidiacono (Universita Cattolica, Milan), Alessandro Gandini (King’s College, London) and Ivana Pais (Universita Cattolica, Milan). For over fifty years, our monograph series has showcased the best and most innovative sociologically informed work, producing intellectually stimulating volumes that promote emerging and established academics. Unboxing the Sharing Economy continues this trend, exploring the sociological significance and implications of the rise in digitally-enabled ‘sharing’ practices, which are currently widespread from the Western economy to the Global South.

 

The event will be held on Wednesday 25 July,  2018 16:00 – 19:00 BST - River Room, King's College London, Strand Building

Strand, London WC2R 2LS

 

This event has been funded by The Sociological Review Foundation. Copies of the monograph will be available for purchase at the launch.
