In an era where digital platforms dominate the economic and social landscapes, understanding and critically engaging with these platforms is more important than ever. Platforms like Google have become gatekeepers of information, wielding unprecedented influence over what we see, how we learn, and how economies function. While these platforms often claim transparency and neutrality, their inner workings are typically opaque, leaving users and scholars in the dark about the algorithms and policies that shape our digital experiences.
This Organizational Design Workshop aims to bridge that gap by empowering management scholars and social scientists to use design as a method for critical social science scholars and social scientists to use design as a method for critical social science research and innovation. By dismantling the Google Search Engine—a cornerstone of digital economies —we will explore its underlying structures, supply chains, nodes and relations of power, as well as question its societal impacts, and collaboratively design alternative models that prioritize social justice and transparency.
Presented by Parsons School of Design and the Schools of Public Engagement at The New School. Best Research Paper prize sponsored by Springer.

The virtual Management and Social Justice Conversation Series is for those interested in critical and generative approaches to management scholarship, teaching, and practice based on relevant, topical, and invigorating social theories. The series presenters will present work that is focused on inclusion in workplaces as well as questions of racial, ecological, economic, and gender injustice, and that goes beyond the historical agendas of business schools and for-profit corporations, including profit maximization, and managerialist agendas.

Koray Caliskan is an economic sociologist and organizational designer. He is a tenured Associate Professor of Strategic Design and Management at Parsons School of Design, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Design Strategies, and Associate Editor of the Journal of Cultural Economy. He designed the strategy for MaMame, a social innovation project that combines cooperative and LLC structures to support underrepresented women's labor; this initiative received the Entrepreneurship of the Year Award from Microsoft in 2017. Caliskan has directed and produced several award-winning fiction and documentary films, including Esma, which was shown at the Cannes Film Festival. He co-founded The Wrong Department, a strategic design studio with offices in London and New York City. His recent research on cryptocurrencies earned the Scientific Breakthrough of the Year Award in Social Sciences from the Falling Walls Foundation in 2021 and was mentioned in Financial Times as a way to understand the US and its economy.
This work culminated in the book “Data Money: Inside Cryptocurrencies and Their Communities, Blockchains, and Markets” published by Columbia University Press in September 2023. Currently, with support from an ESRC (UK) grant, he is researching the economic sociology of online advertisements. In 2025, he is set to publish two co-authored books: "Economization: Markets, Platforms, and Ecologies" with Michel Callon and Donald MacKenzie (Columbia University Press), and "Inside Digital Advertising: Platform Power, Data Icebergs, and Material Politics" with Donald MacKenzie (Polity Press).
