Workshop 2: Local Communities and Social Media
When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck Main Building, Malet Street
There is no distinction between ‘offline’ and ‘online.’ We don’t go ‘on’ digital media platforms, they are highly integrated with our daily lives and routines. This means that when we think about combating digital harms, we need to begin by thinking holistically about the communities we serve. If we begin from the understanding that digital media is deeply integrated in the daily lives of the communities we serve, how does that shape or change the work we do?
