In Conversation With Dr. Ahmed Al-Rawi

Join us on February 29th, for "In Conversation with Dr. Ahmed Al-Rawi," part 4 of CCMW's six-part Delete Digital Hate series. Moderated by Fatima Syed, Dr. Ahmed Al-Rawi will delve into the pervasive issue of hate against Muslims, particularly women, on social media. Exploring the various modes of hate communication, including memes and emojis, Dr. Al-Rawi will draw from his extensive research across different social media platforms, highlighting Telegram as a particularly toxic space due to lax moderation policies. He advocates for a collective effort to combat online hate, proposing a three-tiered approach involving content moderation, community-focused media literacy, and legislative policy changes. Don't miss this insightful discussion on fostering a vibrant, factual, and healthy public sphere in the face of hate and misinformation.
