<b>Abstract:</b><br>
<span style="font-size:12.0pt">Markets are central to contemporary social life. Yet, their features are often reduced to transactions and exchange, hiding the rich forms of sociotechnical and organizational work that are necessary for their making, maintenance,
and reproduction. In this talk, I explore these dimensions of markets through<span class="m-3154644205119158978gmaildefault"> studies of</span> two very different settings: stock exchanges, where ‘invisible’ organizational workers transformed the nature of
trading and the social fabric of finance; and higher education, where scholars have awkwardly adopted forms of market-oriented quantification as mechanisms for sustaining their public value. Through these two studies, the talk concludes with thoughts about
the nature of markets in contemporary societies, arguing for a notion of ‘reverse embeddedness’—that is, for a reclaiming of markets and market-devices as o<span class="m-3154644205119158978gmaildefault">bjects that can be shaped and designed for the production
of a better common future. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
