Jaylexia Clark is a Policy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Information Technology and Public Life at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Recently, she graduated from the University of Notre Dame where she obtained her PhD in sociology, with a minor in quantitative social science. Her dissertation, “Racing Towards Global Racial Capitalism: Investigating the Relationship Between Racial/Gender Inequality and Platform Technology at Work,” examines the intersection between platform technology and racial capitalism. Wherein, she investigates whether the use of platform technology for income-earning activities creates new opportunities for labor participation or exacerbates the exploitation of women and racially marginalized workers. Through three different case studies, she demonstrates how gendered racial inequality is reproduced in the platform economy. In each case study, she finds that platform technology does not transform the extent to which occupations inherited by the platform economy are racialized and gendered. Rather, platform technologies help to streamline the exploitative nature of historical racialized and gendered-capital relations. As a postdoctoral scholar, she continues to study the intersection of race, technology, and labor.
