#resistance: Exploring digital protest by marginalised groups was a two day event which brought together students, early career researchers and established academics in diverse fields with advocates working on daily resistance and online activism.
The event sought critically reflect on the following key questions
- Can social media be used to challenge geopolitical notions of activism?
- What are the uses of social media as an everyday tool of resistance against racism, white supremacy, colonialism, misogyny, homo and transfobia, ableism, among others?
- How can we tackle issues around social media censorship?
- Can there be a decolonial approach regarding the use of social media as resistance given the neoliberal and colonial implications of technology companies and social media?
- What are some of the ethical implications of using social media as a tool of protest?
- In what ways is social media used as counter resistance
