We are pleased to have hosted the 16th session of our Political Economy Teach-In Series, “Digital Economy and Extreme Politics”, on 26 September with Rosana Pinheiro-Machado.

All our sessions are recorded and you can access the previous ones on our website. The videos are in the original version, though we will be working to provide translated transcripts in Arabic, English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese to reach a wider audience..

Rosana Pinheiro-Machado is a professor at the School of Geography, University College Dublin (UCD). She directs the Digital Economy and Extreme Politics Lab (DeepLab). She is the principal investigator for the project “Flexible Work and Rigid Politics in Brazil, India, and the Philippines”, funded by the European Research Council (ERC). Her research expertise centres on authoritarianism and populism in the 21st century, focusing on labour precariousness, digitalization, and gender issues.
