On 22 February 2024 TIK welcomed José Ossandón and Koray Çalışkan to present and discuss the book and its contributions to the study of economization.
José Ossandón is Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School, Department of Organization, with a PhD from Goldsmiths University of London. His research focuses on the organization of markets and the work of experts who claim to know how to make markets work to solve matters of collective concerns (see for instance the special issue he co-edited for Economy and Society). He has also studied the different actors and techniques involved in the management and government of domestic finance (a recent example is a co-authored Socio-Economic Review paper). He is co-editor-in-chief of Valuation Studies and an associate editor at the Journal of Cultural Economy. Read more about him here.
Koray Çalışkan is an economic sociologist teaching at The New School, Parsons School of Design. He is the author of "Data Money: Inside Cryptocurrencies, Their Communities, Markets, and Blockchains" (Columbia, 2023). Çalışkan’s research on cryptocurrencies was selected as a winner of the Breakthrough of the Year 2021 in Social Sciences and Humanities by the Falling Walls Foundation, Berlin. His new book, co-authored with Michel Callon and Donald MacKenzie, is entitled "Economization: Markets, Economies, and Platforms in Perspective" (forthcoming in 2024 from Columbia UP). Currently, he is conducting research on online advertisements. Read more about him here.
