Abstract [en]

This paper is a unique roundtable discussion between geographers to explore, contextualizeand problematize the role of geography in the gig economy. It brings together eight researchersfrom across Europe all working with qualitative methods and studying the gig economy. Basedon reflections and commentaries regarding the spatialities and temporalities in and of the gigeconomy, we offer an innovative approach to exploring complicated factors in an emerging andrapidly growing field. We highlight the multiple layers of geography in physical and digitalspaces and the, sometimes blurry, interactions between these. We also show howtemporalities shape the geographies of the gig economy. This paper contributes to developing,deepening and advancing theoretical challenges in understanding the gig economy. It alsobrings these challenges into an accessible, yet thorough publication that can be used inteaching about the gig economy and digital geography. We provide a pedagogical tool tosupport university teachers in using this document in their courses.

Abstract [sv]

Denna rapport är en unik rundabordsdiskussion mellan geografer för att utforska,kontextualisera och problematisera geografins roll i gigekonomin. Detta samlar åtta forskarefrån olika kontexter i Europa som alla arbetar med kvalitativa metoder och forskar omgigekonomin. Baserat på reflektioner och kommentarer om rumsligheten och temporaliteternai och av gigekonomin erbjuder vi ett innovativt tillvägagångssätt för att undersöka kompliceradefaktorer i ett fält som växer och förändras snabbt. Vi lyfter fram flera aspekter av geografi ifysiska och digitala rum och platser och de, ibland luddiga, interaktionerna mellan dessaaspekter. Vi visar också hur temporaliteter formar gigekonomins geografier. Denna rapportbidrar till att utveckla, fördjupa och främja teoretiska utmaningar för att förstå gigekonomin.Det för också dessa utmaningar till en tillgänglig men ändå grundlig publikation som kananvändas i undervisningen om gigekonomin och digital geografi. Vi inkluderar ett pedagogisktverktyg för att stödja universitetslärare att använda detta dokument i sina kurser.
