Natalia Avlona
Hey people! I am a lawyer and researcher, cyborgically based in Athens.
My expertise and research focuses on Digital Commons from a gendered lens. Particularly, I am researching the intersection of decentralised technologies, with gender, digital labor and law.
Furthermore, my wider research interests have lead me into working on the legal and societal consequences of the sharing economy, which has made me eager for the post-capitalist platform alternatives.
In DisCO, I am co-developing the Research Circle with a strong commitment to feminist ethics. Our aim is to develop novel conceptual, yet applied methodologies that bridge feminist economics with commons-oriented and cooperative technologies and initiatives.
I am member of the Management Committee of Cost Action CA16121-From Sharing to Caring: Examining Socio-Technical Aspects of the Collaborative Economy (2017-2021) and co-founder of the technofeminist post-capitalist action research network Restorative Infrastructures.
