Digital Persecution Conference

Open Doors UK & Ireland

International interdisciplinary academic conference organised by Open Doors, the University of Birmingham and the University of Roehampton.

10 -11 Carlton House Terrace, London

Technological advances have brought great benefits to diverse societies. But they are also bringing new challenges to human rights – including the acceleration of persecution and discrimination against groups such as religious minorities, notably through censorship, disinformation and surveillance combined with new uses of the law and public policy.Join us to explore this rapidly changing realm and learn and discuss how the digital sphere is increasingly being used to undermine human rights, and consider what policy and other solutions can be found to address this trend.This is an interdisciplinary conference organised by Open Doors in partnership with the University of Birmingham and the University of Roehampton relevant to all those concerned at local, national and wider levels from the civic, public and private sectors. Speakers include Sam Brownback, former United States Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, and Fiona Bruce, the UK Prime Minister’s Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief and leading academics and analysts of human rights risks and responses more broadly.You can buy full day tickets that will give you access to all the plenary sessions and seminars, and also sandwich lunch, tea, and coffee. For those who can&#x27;t attend in person, the plenary speeches will be livestreamed.
