[Air-L] "Latin American Cultures on TikTok" - online satellite roundtable event (Nov 8)

[Tom Divon]

Dear community friends!

The TikTok Cultures Research Network (TCRN) is excited to announce our
second online satellite roundtable event, "Latin American Cultures on
TikTok" or "Culturas Latinoamericanas en TikTok," featuring bilingual
availability in Spanish and English through live translation.

While extensive research has explored the experiences of creators and
related industries on this popular platform from the perspective of Western
countries and dominant regions, the field of TikTok research in other parts
of the world is emerging, promising novel perspectives for comprehending
the platform. Therefore, this event is centered around TikTok and Latin
America and brings together the perspectives of academics, creators, and
industry professionals in and from the region, exploring the experience of
the Latin American diaspora, indigenous communities, and mainstream
creators. Join us for this discussion as we unpack the complexities of
platforms, cultures, and content creation!

This 2.5-hour event will feature two roundtables:
Roundtable 1 will focus on Latin American indigenous cultures and
environmental activism on TikTok. Speaker bios here
