> About Us
> LaborTech is an interdisciplinary and transnational group of experts concerned with the intersection of technology and labor. We aim to reframe conversations about technology and labor towards issues of power, inequality, and social justice, and incorporate themes of feminism, anti-racism, and transnationalism. We also seek to foster an interdisciplinary, cross-regional, and community-oriented space for discussion, collaboration, and empowerment. For a deeper discussion of our mission, please see the ['About Us'](http://labortechresearchnetwork.org/index.php/about-us/) page on our website as well as examples of topics in our [decade-long Speaker Series](http://labortechresearchnetwork.org/index.php/speaker-series/).
> 
> Call for Nominations
