DESCRIPTION:Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/440912326539588
 /\n	\n	In a ‘publish or perish’ culture\, scholarly communication is inextri
 cable from the mechanisms of prestige and precarity that define and shape 
 academic labour. Today\, the labour of scholars is made valuable in new wa
 ys as informal practices of sharing research are made profitable and measu
 rable as data. This presentation focuses on the business models of platfor
 ms such as Academia.edu and ResearchGate to explore these processes of dat
 afication and their impact on methods and metrics of scholarly communicati
 on. The success of these platforms reminds us that scholars are not exempt
  from the pressures of platformed sociality and the new forms of visibilit
 y it produces.\n	\n	Corina MacDonald is a SSHRC-funded PhD Candidate in Comm
 unication Studies at Concordia University in Montreal\, Canada. Her doctor
 al research focuses on self-archiving infrastructures and platforms as a s
 ite of inquiry for understanding the impact of datafication on humanities 
 scholarly communication. She is a founding member of the archive+design co
 llective MAT3RIAL (mat3rial.com)\, which works with cultural organizations
 \, researchers and artists to develop web-based tools and publications.\n
