Mark Graham Biography

Mark Graham is a professor of Internet Geography at the Oxford Internet Institute and a faculty fellow at the Alan Turing Institute. He is also an associate in the University of Oxford's School of Geography and the Environment. Graham holds a doctorate in economic geography and focuses his research on the implications of digital technology for work, labor markets, and global inequalities. His work examines how internet connectivity and digital platforms shape economic geography, with particular attention to the gig economy, digital labor, and the global division of labor in the digital age.

Graham serves as a research associate at the Centre for Information Technology and National Development in Africa at the University of Cape Town, a visiting researcher at the Berlin Social Science Centre, and a faculty affiliate at the Institute for the Cooperative Digital Economy at The New School. He leads research projects on digital labor, internet geographies, and information and communication technologies for development. Graham has studied the expansion of global digital labor markets, including the impact of submarine internet cables in Kenya, and directs the Fairwork initiative, which evaluates platform economy employers against fair labor standards.

Graham is the author of several books, including "The Gig Economy: A Critical Introduction," "Geographies of Digital Exclusion: Data and Inequality," "Digital Work in the Planetary Market," and "Society and the Internet: How Networks of Information and Communication are Changing our Lives." His co-authored book, "The Digital Continent: Placing Africa in Planetary Networks of Work," was shortlisted for the Business Council for Africa Business Book of the Year Award. In "Feeding the Machine: The Hidden Human Labour Powering AI," Graham explores the global networks supporting artificial intelligence, highlighting the labor conditions of workers in the digital economy. The book has been translated into multiple languages and has been covered by major international media outlets.

Graham's research has received recognition and funding from organizations such as the British Academy, the Economic and Social Research Council, the European Research Council, the US National Science Foundation, and the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development. He has contributed to policy development for international organizations and governments, serving as an expert for the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, a task force coordinator for the G20's Task Force on New Digital Technologies for SDGs and Decent Work, and a member of the UK's DFID Digital Advisory Panel. His research has informed reports by the World Bank and UNCTAD and has been presented to advisory committees including the FCDO's Technology and Geopolitics Roundtable, the G20 Working Group on Development, and the International Telecommunications Union.

Graham's work has been featured in media outlets such as The Economist, The New York Times, The Telegraph, Die Zeit, Wired, The Washington Post, CNN, and ITV. He has participated in panels at the Global Cybersecurity Forum and regularly presents at academic and policy institutions, addressing topics related to digital inequality, artificial intelligence ethics, and the future of work.
