From September 19 to October 9, 2019, UTSC Urban Political Geography students participated in a “signals sprint” to find microtasking references. They collectively analyzed 374 references related to microjobbing.
University of Toronto Scarborough Campus students analysed each reference as social, technological, economic, environmental, political or values, a STEEPV framework. Students also considered the importance of each signal and provided a summary of why it is important.
This project would not have been possible without the incredible harvest of resources the students collected. Our appreciation also goes out to their professor, Michelle Buckley, for guiding them in this research and making it part of their coursework for the term.
