Yes, Covert Carcerality!
Indians working in the US are in a living nightmare now. Every 3yrs on an H-1B visa, you need to go back home and get it renewed. For the last few months, there are ZERO days open for people to get their visa stamped. They're jailed in the US, and can't leave to see family

My article on Indian tech workers' experience of "covert carcerality" in the United States has been published (open access) in Sociological Forum doi.org/10.1111/socf.1… Read to know how the #greencardbacklog devalues these workers, and deprives them of the dignity they deserve.
New open access article on the labor behind AI systems! Drawing on a case study, I examine how technologists and data workers construct and morally justify stark inequalities, collaborating to "clean up" the morally questionable status of data work. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20…

My new article has just been published as open access in Sociology Compass. I argue that sexuality must be understood as a key pillar of the global order of neoliberalism within the context of empire, colonialism, and racial capitalism.

feeding everyone’s articles to the plagiarism machine without their consent after you completely destroyed Aaron Swartz’s life for trying to share those articles with other scholars is SICK!!!!!
