Nefarious Laws - Digital Currencies and the Gig Economy: Veena Dubal and Rohan Grey
In this conversation recorded at the Futures of Finance Retreat, Prof Veena Dubal and Prof Rohan Grey discuss the implications of new regulatory regimes for poor consumers and working-class people as would-be investors in crypt-currency and "employees" of ride-share companies. Rohan talks about his research and policy proposals on a responsible, transformative approach to regulating digital currencies - "we do need a world that values anonymity as a primary concern". Veena explains Uber, Lyft and ride sharing companies are experimenting on Black and brown bodies with totalising new automated technologies of algorithmic discrimination. As Veena argues, "more terrifying than ChatGPT is the automation of labour extraction, the automation of labour surveillance, and the automation of dispossession."

Origins and Aims of the Futures of Finance Project - Emily Katzenstein, Hannah Appel, and Michael Dawson
In this conversation Emily Katzenstein, Hannah Appel, and Michael Dawson discuss the origins and aims of the Futures of Finance Project. It is a culmination of Michael's and Hannah's shared interest to build networks of people in and out of the academy to deal with inequality in many forms: along the lines of gender and sexuality, race, and class, to understand them as academics and try to build transformative social movements as well. As Michael says, "Building for the future is not a luxury, we won't survive if we won't build that future".

Socialism and Empire: Labor, Migration, and Racial Politics
Inés Valdez, Associate Professor of Political Science at The Ohio State University, joins the New Dawn Podcast and discusses the role of labor and migration as a form of racial politics. As a critical race and feminist theorist, Valdez's research agenda has engaged issues of migration, transnationalism, empire, and racial capitalism. Her first book, Transnational Cosmopolitanism: Kant, Du Bois, and Justice as a Political Craft, was published by Cambridge and makes the case that cosmopolitanism must be transnational. Valdez's numerous articles have appeared in the American Political Science Review, Citizenship Studies, Perspectives on Politics, Politics, Groups, and Identities, Political Research Quarterly, Political Theory, and Theory & Event. (This episode was originally recorded in June 2021.)
