[Online Hate, Media (Mis)Representation and Systemic Racism Virtual Conference: June 22-23, 2023]

Two days left to join us for this can’t-miss event!

What is the role of social, news and digital media in spreading online hate? How do digital technologies perpetuate systemic racism, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism? What threat does right-wing extremism pose to Canadian society? How can we deal with hate on the Internet?

Canada’s leading minds will be tackling these issues and more at our two-day virtual conference on Online Hate, Media (Mis)Representation and Systemic Racism, taking place June 22 to 23, 2023, and supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
