Hi everyone,
I’m writing to invite you to an upcoming conference at the Graduate Center titled “Activism and the Intersectional Internet: Power and Resistance.” It will be held Wednesday, May 17th, 2017 from 9am to 1pm. It will address issues related to digital activism that bring together designers, software developers, community organizers and scholars to discuss the possibilities and limitations of digital activism — past and present — and its relationship to offline grassroots efforts. From social media networks to e-mail to websites, the Internet and digital technologies are deployed both as a tool to organize and amplify activists’ resistance efforts, as well as a site of state and corporate control and surveillance. It is sponsored by the Graduate Center Digital Initiatives and the Digital Fellows.
