Social Theory Centre Seminar with Dr Sanjay Sharma (Brunel University) speaking on 'Digital Racism: Networks, Algorithms & Power Laws'
S0.18

Why is it so difficult to challenge online racism?

The escalation of racism on the web is overwhelming the capability of social media companies, government and civil society to tackle its toxic effects. And the increasing normalisation of online racism is attempting to silence 鈥榤inority鈥� voices. There has been a failure to grasp the complexity of digital racism as a sociotechnical phenomenon. My talk explores the ecology of digital racism: the connections and entanglements of racism between users, interfaces, algorithms and the affordances of communication platforms.
