The annual Tom O'Regan Public Lecture will return in 2026, with travelling Fellow, Professor Marc Steinberg. Professor Steinberg will present on the Aesthetics of Convenience: From Retail to Platforms. All are welcome to attend our free event, registrations required.

Understanding of platform algorithms is central to the creative and strategic work of achieving and sustaining an audience online, as they determine who and what becomes visible in feeds. Platforms have long been criticised for concealing details about their algorithms in ways that limit creators’ agency. This talk extends those critiques by introducing the concept of platform epistemology, an additional vector of platform power shaping creativity, labour conditions, and inequity within promotional cultures.
