Gender, intersectionality and digital hate

Cultures of Digital Hate

This is the second event in our series on tackling the pervasive problem of digital hate.

Seminar series for the research project Cultures of Digital Hate, which educates, engages and consults on the pervasive social problem of digital hate. https://culturesdigitalhate.wordpress.com/

This panel discussion will debate how speaking publicly about social justice exposes us to cultures of digital hate, and what intersectional feminist activism can do to tackle such cultures. Given that the risks of visibility are unevenly distributed in ways that exacerbate harm to already marginalised groups, we explore whether visibility exposes academics to the kinds of online misogyny, racism, ableism and transphobia that characterise cultures of online hate. It will consider how digital hate circulates as an attempt to silence particular voices in public and academic debate and the problems of online visibility given the blurring of the personal and professional. Speakers include:<ul><li>Dr Jen Slater, Reader in Queer Disability Studies and Education, Sheffield Hallam University</li><li>Dr Charlotte Jones, Research Fellow with interests in gender, sexuality, disability and health, University of Exeter</li><li>Dr Brooklyne Gipson, Assistant Professor, Communication, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaig</li><li>Gabriela de Oliveira, Head of Policy, Research and Campaigns at Glitch</li></ul>Hosted by Dr Hannah Yelin, Oxford Brookes University and Dr Laura Clancy, Lancaster University.This event is part of the Sociological Review Seminar Series and has been funded by the Sociological Review Foundation.Photo by Fabio
